While I don't see many issues ...

... the option to perform programming with a simple UART adapter
rather than a CMSIS-DAP compatible programming dongle is certainly
useful. (Of course, the CMSIS-DAP dongle also offers debugging
capabilities, but that's beyond the scope of AVRDUDE.)

Please don't start out with any offspring Git repositories, unless you
make sure it is really in sync with the current Subversion repo. The
latter is still the definitive source reference for AVRDUDE.
