Done in git:

Is the code for this somewhere? Looks like it got deleted from alioth.

If someone revives this service, this approach missed packages that do
not use a VCS. This could be worked around by the addition of fetching
from source packages when there is no VCS. The VCS should be preferred
since source packages don't need to be updated immediately when
upstream metadata changes.
