So we need to come up with an organism descriptor for our submissions that don't need to be placed precisely in the NCBI Taxonomy DB, but the nomenclature should probably not be too strange relative to the existing naming used for CoVs.

Serratax provides the identity of the source organism. They allow BLAST top hits as an approximate guide down to genus, which is a bad method for our situation. Serratax is much better because it reliably resolves sub-genus and species, while even genus can be wrong with BLAST (e.g. Bobbie). Perhaps this will need a discussion with GB, and possibly they won't allow it, but Serratax gives much better predictions than blast top hit to genus -- this is exactly why I implemented Serratax!
Here's what NCBI has to say about assigning a meaningful entry for the "source" of the sequence material in the face of uncertainty:
