You can join the team, subscribe to the list and help setup a
repository for the scripts (as mentioned back then already).
If you are intrested in helping there is no problem getting the
sources. You didn't even pretent to want to help but just wanted the
scripts to circumvent the blockade on James and Ryan. That much was
clear from the discussion which prevented you from getting the source.
Like it or not. I can understand it.

Do you have the source anywhere too?
FYI: The debian amd64 arch-all.txt is at
