In my opinion, if some code is advertised in Usenet then there should
be sufficiently complete information about it posted here to know what
any remote link is (and less of "I've done something, and you find it
there").

If you have enough information about the advertised product it's IMO a
still not unimportant but secondary question where it's placed.

And if there's enough information here I can decide whether I take the
burden to access Github or anything else.

I ignore such posts that contain only links and spare the information
(including rationales etc.).
