Your situation seems similar to what I faced with github - I set up a redirector at http://githubredir.debian.net/ - This takes a Git tree as exported by Github and gives the links for each of the tags. Now, there are some caveats - Mainly, the orig.tar.gz files are not _always_ identical, I guess due to timestamping differences. But it works for me. And source code is available from the page.
