Make this repo a template repo

so that one could easily start a new module etc by simply using the "Create repo from template" option.

That might be a bit difficult because the starter repo contains several starter templates.

Yes, that's a bit of a disadvantage of the current organization. However, when creating a repo from a template, one can copy all branches (see point 7 in https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template). Afterwards, one could rename the branch one wants to main and make it the default branch, then delete all branches one doesn't need.

Don't you think it is a bit longer than creating the repo on GitHub -> Clone it -> nuxi init X -> git push?

Otherwise we may have to split each branch to it's own repo.

Or.... give the possibility on nuxt.new nuxt/nuxt.new to connect with GitHub (OAuth) to create a repository from a template 👀

I like the GitHub connection idea! 👏🏻

Good news, the nuxt.new repository is open source and open to anymore to contribute 😊

I made https://github.com/Atinux/discuss to show how to make a Nuxt 3 app with GitHub oauth if it can help.

The main advantage of using github templates over nuxi init is that one gets the git data with it, so that's relatively straightforward to pull improvements in the starter repo. Another small plus is that github would write "generated from https://github.com/nuxt/starter", which gives free advertisement to the starter repo.

But I agree that there are not many big advantages.

Otherwise we may have to split each branch to it's own repo.

This sounds like the most viable/easy approach.
