Hi Jonas,

Yes, it's kind of confusing.

True. If you go to https://notofonts.github.io/ and look at any font, you'll see
that there is a "Source repository" selection, which opens the font's source on
GitHub.

For example, Noto Arabic <https://notofonts.github.io/#arabic> has its source at
<https://github.com/notofonts/arabic>, and so on.

Sorry, my mistake. noto-cjk has already been packaged separately at
<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-noto-cjk>, and now pointing to the new
upstream location on GitHub.


Best,
