Unless I read the thread wrong openfontlibrary.org will return. Also I see no reason to drop packages just because there upstream is gone. Esp. for something like a font. If its a nice font and reasonably complete what sort of maintenance would you expect from upstream ? I mean once Rembrand had finished the Night Watch, it was well finished. I don't see how a font is much different.
