Although the homepage is down, the source code archive is still
available. And the github repo appears to be someone's totally
unaffiliated mirror, so it does not need to be taken as the gospel home.

Dead code is not always dead -- does it work okay? Do people use it? I
see one vote from 2018-05-23.

With this in mind, do you desire to reconsider this deletion request?
