a mechanism for browsing topics at a user- and org-specific level

[jonorthwash]

As brought up in #302 (comment), it would be great to be able to have the topics feature expanded in the following ways:

• A user or org's topics should be immediately visible at a glance e.g. at the top of the repositories page.
• A user or org's topics should be browsable in such a way that only repos from that user or org labelled with that topic are shown.

This simple expansion of this recently introduced feature would be a simple way to provide repository "grouping" functionality, a feature that's been requested a number of different times (#49, #136, #282, #302, #306), often with many echoes of support ("+1"s). Its use together with other requested features (like #144 or #939) could do wonders for "cluttered" sets of repos.

Request also sent to GitHub support on 2017-08-12.

I realise "topics" are supposed to be a site-wide social thing. So you label your code php or whatever, and not staging or CS121. So perhaps some appropriate adjustment could be made to let topics work both ways, or something else entirely is needed?

Any progress on this ?

GitHub support told me shortly after I posted this that they'd forward on my request to the development team. I haven't heard anything from anyone about it since then.
