Then I better put in my vote for "src". :-)

My reasoning is that "src" has meant "binutils & GDB etc" for over 20
years now, and there is no other use of "src" in the GNU universe that
has designated or will designate a project or repo. So in a sense it's
justifiable to "reserve" the term in this particular case.
