I was a bit over-zealous and cleaned the Alioth repository recently, but
the source is still on <https://umegaya.branchable.com/> and I can
transfer it to Salsa if there is interest.
Regarding the bug that I could not track down, here is the link to the
call for help that I sent in 2014:

The Debian Med team includes upstream information from these files
in its "tasks" pages (see <https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio>
for example), using the UDD as a gatherer.

Indeed, it would be great if we could signal to our users where to
gratify the upstream authors, and I have been hoping that the
upstream-metadata could be helpful for this. But maybe this is more the
scope of AppStream <https://appstream.debian.org/> ?
Have a nice day,
