usb.ids is still maintained and supported on linux-usb.org, if you need
new device ids, add them here:
	http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html

It gets a constant stream of updates submitted to it all the time, and
the latest version of the file can always be found at:
	http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
showing it was last updated on 2021-05-18.

linux-usb.org does not look broken to me, what needs to be fixed on it?

So what specifically is the problem here?

thanks,
