Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks.

I haven't heard from ogg.k in a while, but
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libkate links to
https://code.google.com/archive/p/libkate/ which links to
https://git.xiph.org/?p=users/oggk/kate.git;a=summary all of which are
still online.

I could add it to https://github.com/xiph/ and update the broken
googlesource.com links in the readme if that would be helpful?
