There will never be an “official repository” for ConTeXt. As it stands
ConTeXt also does not accept “Pull Requests”, because it is developed by
PRAGMA ADE for their and only their purposes. The fact that ConTeXt is
availble open source to the public and that Hans replies to bugs that
don't affect his own work is merely a nice gesture of PRAGMA to the
community.
