This was available in 2014 (although it's an abridged downloads page),
and died in 2015. It's a 404 even now.

No, this is non-canonical. Maybe it was in 2014.

This was the correct homepage in like 2010,
it was a 404 in 2012,
and now it redirects to
  https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/Daemonlogger/releases/tag/v1.2.1
which is the canonical upstream source.

The real upstream homepage seems to be
  https://talosintelligence.com/daemon
now, but that just links to the github,
so the current homepage field is... valid
(a decade after the bug was posted).

Sure, it may be nice to lower it to either the github
or the talosintelligence.com/daemon link next upload.

Best,
