Graydon did upload an old version, but it's very old and doesn't have 
issues.
(TBH it's described as "historical snapshot" in the about)

Uploading a new one shouldn't be difficult.

I'm not sure that will help the project get real traction in a world 
that has set its course on Github… but on the other hand I think we owe 
it (or at least I do, as I use it for my personal projects) at least the 
minimum upkeep necessary to keep it working and compiling.

Are you sure? The (website and) repository is hosted on my server and I 
also use it daily for my own repositories, it should be working fine.

mtn: finding items to synchronize:
mtn:  bytes in | bytes out | certs in | revs in
mtn:    13,4 k |       649 |        0 |       0
mtn:  bytes in | bytes out |      certs in |       revs in
mtn:     8,6 M |       649 |  2.575/41.115 |    675/11.073^

Works for me, please report specific error so that I can look into it.
