You're welcome,

This link (GNOME FTP) is actually the latest release of Loudmouth by
Imendio (2007).
The project has then been handed over from Imendio to Engine Yard,
and there was a 1.5.0 release in early 2008 (which has never been
uploaded to GNOME FTP servers).

Since Engine Yard has stopped maintaining Loudmouth, we've taken over
maintnership (with the agreement of Mikael Hallendal from the initial
Imendio team, since Engine Yard did not respond).

So yes, this is the same tree as Loudmouth 1.4.3.

No, currently it is hosted on the same server as mcabber:
https://mcabber.com/files/loudmouth

I don't know if it would be possible to upload an archive to the GNOME
FTP as well -- that would be nice.

I've already done so and I think all relevant patches have been
merged...  Let me know if you think I missed one!
FWIW, the Fedora guys have also checked and sent their own patches so I
think we should be up-to-date.

Thanks for your time!
