Unless Karl says something different I think it would be best if
future updates go
the usual route and get uploaded to ctan first from the new sources on github.
so you lose the mirror.

The changes at tug.org are confusing, in particular they confused me and I
accidentally dropped some changes that had been made previously in texlive
as I started from a base of files from CTAN.

Karl spotted this while re-integrating the new files, so unfortunately I'll need
to do another update of oberdiek bundle today, sorry.
