I was wondering why ? (you being the maintainer ;-) .

For every blender release I still build the binary blob for the
blender.org website. I don't have any feedback at this time of its
usage, in the NaN days it was a few hundred downloads per release if I'm
not mistaken. The graphics/blender port could just continue to follow
the blender.org website download offerings.

I must admin that I have not checked graphics/blender-devel for some
time. It uses the scons build system, right ? (the other 2, makefiles
and cmake are what I use mostly) is the game engine building enabled in
scons ? The soundsystem ? standalone-player ? web browser plugins ?

Using the blender.org release source tarballs ? Sounds like an idea.
Or do you intend to move the graphics/blender-devel to graphics/blender ?
