I¹ve made this offer to the list before, but here it is again:
We (Objective Pathology) work heavily with libTIFF for it¹s BigTIFF features which are important
in our digital pathology field. We will be open-sourcing our own BigTIFF subspec/flavour designed
for interactive online viewing fairly soon it¹s already fairly widely in use.
We own Organization BigTIFF on GitHub, and domains tiff.photo, tiff.rocks, libtiff.online, and bigtiffŠ
.net .ca .us .photo .info .rocks .asia .desi .eu .lat .online;
bigtiff.org is owned by an associate company.
Maybe something could be done with one or several., like hosting libtiff under BigTIFF/libTIFF or some such.
No agenda other than a bit of credit for our company for supporting the project, not dissimilar to
the current support from Aware, OSGeo, Remote Sensing, Simple Systems, who knows whatŠ all very confusing
now as the domains have been lost/hijacked several times.
We maintain close to 300 domains, and the site would be accelerated through a paid Cloudflare CDN account
with bandwidth paid by us if not on GitHub.
I do feel strongly that it¹s time to move libtiff away from CVS and over to Git, and it¹s my personal
opinion that GitHub offers the most value overall for open-source projects.
What¹s the scoop with libtiff.org? That would certainly be the most sensible home.

That doesn't sound good, hope they regain access soon. Related to that, is there any plan to move fully over to git? The existing mirror works pretty well; all my recent patches are generated directly with it. Could we create a libtiff organisation on GitHub or GitLab? Unfortunately, "libtiff" is taken on github, as is "tiff". But libtiff is available on GitLab.
I've sent a query to github to see if they can get libtiff back for the project (as the existing account seems to have no recent activity since 3 years).
I've attached the patches to invoke the script directly (0002) plus the original fixes (0001).
