Sadly our beloved http://www.bzip.org has hit the bit bucket. Does
anyone know where upstream support for bzip2 went?

So it is, and from there we find:
```
Find the latest version on SourceForge.

Posted on 22 September 2018
```
But I can't find it in SourceForge search engine and there is no link
pointing to the project at the bzip.org page.

Something looks fishy to me.
I don't think an old school guy like Sewards would be running a
WordPress site. They would use plain HTML 3 crafted in Vi or Emacs.
They would also probably avoid SourceForge due to the malware
packaging of old.
Finally, WHOIS does not indicate Sewards is the owner. They are still
showing register.com.
I would not trust any downloads from that site.

Author Julian Seward's Wikipedia page contains nothing out of the
ordinary, works at Mozilla according to the Wikipedia page.

I've created a SF project, uploaded the 1.0.6 pristine source file and
created a SF git repository for that source. I would like others to
help manage this project, anyone interested please contact me directly.
I didn't think this precious source code should just lay in wait for
other wolves and just took the initiative to keep it publicly available
and open. I don't think we should worry with a web URL at the moment
since SF provides a wiki with its projects. In 3 days the uploaded file
has been downloaded 15 times so there is definitely interest it this
project.
