[Top posting to waste as little time as possible on this useless topic.]
I have sent the owner of the repository this mail:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
We're currently working on getting the number of external repositories
down to a minimum. Our goal is to have a lot less repositories on
gronmayer as soon as possible. This will hopefully improve user
experience.
It seems that you have a repository with some or more packages duplicated
in Extras. Is this repository outdated? Is there a possibility for you to
move all useful packages to Extras and shut your own one down?
If you need any help with packages that need to brought over to Extras,
please let me know. We will gladly help you with problematic packages.
Thanks in advance!

PS. We keep a list of repositories and their status here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
And he answered:
"yes, my repository is outdated. There is only one usefull package -
becomeroot for bora, but it work for other distributions."
So, make up your own conclusions.
I will keep working on improving the _community_ repository and end-user
experience. I am very sad to see that people misunderstand genuine efforts
to improve things and even worse: Communicate without any consideration.
Sometimes it is good to count to 10 before you start a flame mail.
