GeographicLib 2.0 has been released, which removes the language
bindings from the source tree, it also renamed the library from
libGeographic to libGeographicLib.
The python3-geographlib and node-geographiclib binary packages are no
longer built. Popcon shows pretty much no usage of node-geographiclib
so its removal is not big deal. python3-geographiclib does have some
(but not many) users, likely via python3-geopy which will be broken
once GeographLib 2.0 is in unstable. #1008603 has been filed for geopy.
There are distrib directories for C and Octave, but none for Python or
Node.js at https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/. I
have not idea what the future of Python bindings will be, I only know
that I won't be packaging it.
If necessary I could possibly take in charge the packaging and
maintenance of python bindings, but, as you say, the source package is
not available at the moment and I was not even able to find a NEWS file
or a changelog for v2.0.
Probably it is better to wait a little bit and see what happens upstream.
The Fortran bindings appeared on SourceForge, see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1008603#25
Keep an eye on the download location:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geographiclib/files/
And repo for the Python bindings:
https://github.com/geographiclib/geographiclib-python
