--- Comment #2 from Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO <tomek@cedro.info> ---
I have encountered similar problems recently when porting tools for NuttX R=
TOS
development on FreeBSD, specifically genromfs and kconfig-frontends. It tur=
ned
out that kconfig-frontends maintenance is abandoned, folks used simple copy=
 of
the package, but there was no central upstream repository. (what is more th=
ere
were two known diverged sources on Debian using version 4.11 and Espressif =
GH
using version 4.6). People from GNU / Linux world does not see that as prob=
lem.

GitHub is really easy to maintain and process patches as HPS mentioned, also
provides reliable packages hosting, but it also may create a diverged fork =
when
not merged back to the upsteam :-)
