Just reiterating some thoughts from Discord and adding some others not yet stated there:

• Pinging the "owner" of each board/keymap is considered the polite thing to do when making changes, but in this case I want to say most of these were ported in by the community rather than submitted directly by KPRepublic. Worth checking them out, I have only spot checked a few. If it was ported by a QMK Collaborator I would say it wouldn't really be worth pinging the submitter as we will see the PR.

• Structurally, the naive aspect of this PR is going to moving each keyboards/<keyboard>/* path into a vendor folder keyboards/kprepublic/<keyboard>/*, but may also involve updating readme info so that flashing instructions refer to this new path.

• dz60 appears to in fact be a kbdfans board, and there may be others that aren't actually KPRepublic in your list.

• I am personally unsure if it's the case that a board made by an independent creator would have their hardware sold by KPRepublic in a strict vendor relationship where KPR doesn't actually own whatever rights to the board.

• Consider submitting this to the develop branch. Also note this will be considered a breaking change so it cannot be merged until the next breaking change submission.
