Here you are. I included a pdf of the manual as not everybody will have
the required fonts to build it.
No files!

We'll have to wait a bit.
A bit too large for the mailing list. I extracted and rezipped the
attachment, then uploaded to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/4/42/Transliterator.zip
Sorry, my fault, I sent the repository as well …
No problem.
I don't know any cyrillic, but I had a quick look and
have a few remarks for you to consider (I weeded out the
comments already made by Wolfgang):
* \loadmarkfile takes braces, not brackets for the argument,
so you should use \loadmarkfile{t-transliterator}.
* You should create t-transliterator.mkii, even (especially) when it
does nothing except give a \message{Module is unsupported under mkii}
followed by \endinput.
* besides splitting into mkiv and lua, you may even want to create
separate files for each transliteration that is then loaded by
filename key. This would make it easier for other people to add
transliterations you did not implement yourself.
* I expect the substitutions themselves can be sped up a little with no
effort, by using the normal string.gsub. That function is 8bit clean, so
there is no need for the added complication of utf8 processing.
* It is common in ConTeXt to also provide a \starttransliteration
... \stoptransliteration pair (but there is no requirement).
* Finally, where should I get the CMU fonts from?
Best wishes,
Taco
