The requirement that the repository and package name be the same is something imposed by Biocondcutor during the submission process (it's probably best practice, but that isn't why the requirement is there); once the package is accepted it gets cloned into Bioconductor (as BioTIP) the github repository used for submission could be deleted -- we will never look at the github repository again, the maintainer is responsible for pushing changes to the Bioconductor git repository.
So one could create a temporary repository BioTIP and manage the complexity of two repositories during submission (basically two remotes 'origin' (github/user/NPS) and 'upstream' (github/user/BioTIP) on the local BioTIP repository, with any changes pushed to both. Once the package is accepted, change 'upstream' to g...@git.bioconductor.org:pacakges/BioTIP and delete github/user/BioTIP. Continue to push to upstream and remote, to keep the public github and canonical bioconductor repositories in sync. These steps are described at http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/ Obviously not ideal, and really a workaround for limitations on the Bioconductor side of the fence, but it would not result in two permanent github repositories with the same content.

Sounds like using some kind of alias or redirect mechanism would be better but you would need to ask the Git or GitHub experts on how to do this.

Likely there are issues accessing these sites (BiocManager::repositories()) from your computer.
