I have improved URL a bit (see related git commit) and now it is suitable for
loading tarballs with sources from web.archive.org.

Just a side note: I see small difference between sources from Debian and from
web.archive.org: https://susepaste.org/view/raw/87113109
Fortunately, it is not serious and it does not affect Debian users.
Just strange...

BTW, there is tarball with newer version of mu-conference 0.8.81 at Homepage.
Have you seen any news about this release? Is it suitable for packaging?
Any ABI/API changes or only bug fixes are there?

Yep, I see. The recommended level of access for non-DDs at Salsa is a bit
inconvenient. Probably the situation will be changed in the future. Or users
will just adapt to it.

I have updated this git tag and have uploaded a package.

Thanks for you work!

Best regards,
Boris
