Hmhh.

I'm not familiar with the lout-sourcecode.
So it would make much more sense if you would set up such a repo and
maintain the code.

I would only make it, if nobody else would do it.
Maintaining a project without knowing the code is not the best idea.
It's just an emergency solution to have such a repo at all, so that
linux-distributions see some liveliness there, and the possibility to
interact.

Providing the code as tar.gz only, like here:
  http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/lout/
is just not interactive enough (aka too old style).

So some web around git (like GitLab or Github) looks like a necessity to
me these days.

Best solution: someone who knows the code and even has provided changes
would also take care of the whole code base.

Ciao,
