How old is the dose codebase? The changelog.gz in the current Debian
package only goes back to 2012, which is more than a decade after
britney was originally written.

If you want people to do something, it's generally better to ask them,
not assume that they happen to be reading debian-devel.

The front page of release.debian.org has an "our tools" link which leads
to https://release.debian.org/tools.html , which in turn has a link to
an alioth mirror of the britney1 and britney2 source repositories.
That's not _that_ undiscoverable, imho.
