0.2.1 can safely be ignored. It was required for some beta version of
TB, but changes in TB 68 forced me to create 0.2.2. I deleted 0.2.1 from
the downloads as it's plain useless.

I created (and pushed) a signed 0.2.2 tag :-)

That's a wrong tag indeed - I deleted it

Yes, I created a jsunit-0.2.2.xpi.asc file

Yes, I'll have to convince Joomla to do the correct thing...
