IMO, maintaining a repository on a specially designed platform for this
is much easier than supporting a site on a private server with steadily
decreasing amount of people who would like to administrate it.  OTOH,
there are people who hate the sites like GH (e.g. I do :-)).

There is Bert's repository on GH:
- https://github.com/geda-pcb-developers

I know, Karl, you won't work with GH.  However you could support Bert's
efforts by sending patches to him.

I myself like PCB as I spent much time on it some time in the past, and
there are parts in Lepton that are dedicated for it.  However there are
reasons why I still cannot help much.  The program has to be ported to
GTK3 or GTK4.  Otherwise it will be thrown out from main Linux
distributions.  It's a lot of work, and I would need much more free time
to spent to deal with the task, while I'm still digging up in 25-years
old lepton code trying to do any progress.  Maintaining the 8 years old
lepton fork has shown me that there are still lots of people silently
waiting for somebody to continue the effort, and sometimes they even
help :-)

Regards,
  Vladimir
