The main developers won't be touching it. That's a pretty big deal since they were the lifeblood of the project.

Potentially recoverable, but still a big deal.

Second. There's no chance that a "reputable" site. Like GitHub, gitlab, etc will be hosting any of these projects for long. That's significant too.

"reputable"

Projects like this should be self-hosted & encourage contributors to set up their own self-hosted mirrors to make sure the code is both distributed & decentralized which users/makers have full control over their platform.
