This was announced here in April[1]. As soon as it was announced, Gordon Pettey commented here[2] that upstream was fine. A quick inspection to the $HOMEPAGE seems to point out that, at some point, the bitbucket repository was the main one, and github was a "mirror". But, by looking at the github mirror[3], it looks like upstream has been quite active, just not in bitbucket. The README at github also hints that this is for Vim 8, which seems to be the in-tree version of Vim. The move to github was also mentioned in gentoo bug 607136[4], comment 2. Why was this last-rited with the reasoning of "Doesn't work with any in-tree versions of vim. Inactive upstream.", when upstream seems to be active *and* this was mentioned both on the mailing list and on bugzilla?
