It's possible.
You want something like (untested):
version=4
https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth/releases \
downloads/CVS_REL[\d-]+/@PACKAGE@@ANYVERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ debian uupdate

They save me time.

Yep. Things would be simpler if all websites allowed you to view all
directories and their contents, but because
https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth/releases/downloads doesn't
work, it's hard for uscan to figure out what on that page could match
CVS_REL. uscan has gotten more powerful to handle some of the more
interesting ways that upstreams distribute source packages.
