Cyrus-sasl official releases?

Hello there,

some time ago, I contributed several patches from Fedora that we were 
using into the cyrus-sasl fork on github [1] and if I see right, they 
made it back to the official git repository. Since that time, there were 
two releases on github, but none of them is mentioned in the official 
cyrus-sasl website nor available on the official FTP [2] (still linked 
from the fork readme).

Can we consider this as an official release? Is it planned to be 
available in the official FTP? Or is the upstream abandoned and the 
future work will be done on github? Adding Nacho to CC, who is doing 
these releases and should be able to bring some light into that.

Why do I ask? I would like to update the Fedora package and get rid of 
the bunch of patches we carry around for years (since they are 
upstream), but I would not like to pick up some "random fork" (with no 
offense -- I really appreciate the work Ignacio Casal Quinteiro and Ken 
Murchison did so far).
