The easiest would be if the author transferred the github repos to Sagemath github organization. I'm cc-ing this to all the email addresses I found on the web... If we don't get such a transfer done (which obviously needs the author's involvement) then we can just have copies of anything-sage, auto-complete-sage and helm sage hosted. ob-sage is harder, as it does not have a license...
