Also messages to the Hosting Oregon site don't provide info.

Problem.
Main page shows 27 September 2024 -- BusyBox 1.37.0 (unstable)
Site has like 45 - 404 errors and 3 403 errors on main page.
If one download the link to busybox 1.37.0 the bz2 file is from that 
date with no updates.
1.37.0 git is one of the broken links.
If one does a git clone or git pull it is downloading 1.38 which does 
have some activity. The snapshot directory has 32 files listed.
Last 31 days and a snapshot listing that is same as last days image.
At the moment the files fall into two groups of identicle files.
2669360 Mar 22 10:20 busybox-20260322.tar.bz2 File 01 to 22
2669851 Apr 13 10:20 busybox-20260413.tar.bz2  File 23 to 32

So, Main Page has lots of broken links, and no reference to the 
1.38 git??

AI did mentiono your page having activity, so looked for some info

Did notice somewhat outdated copyright?

Thanks. Have a project going back to 2004 that uses busybox, and 
updates were generally about 1/2 year until 1.37 when main page 
stopped. mailing list mentioned the git, and that has worked, but 
see other things. 1.37 is listed as unstable, with 136.1 being last 
stable listing. compairing the 1.37 bz2 to the latest 1.38 snapshot 
bz2 shows about 12,000 lines added and 6,0000 lines removed.
So has been significant changes.

Thanks for your time.
