I do not think this is the case here, although some upstreams are never
happy to have their software packaged at all. The varmatch developers
have written and posted an article that has presumably already been
submitted to a journal, so it looks to be in a beta stage.

Of course, if anyone has a doubt, contacting upstream won't hurt. I
anticipated that might be necessary anyway to figure out how to validate
the program's output based on the test data.

Not to mention upstream might not be happy to have unreleased software 
officially packaged.

Always feel free to ask away. In the worst case, your message would just
remain unanswered until someone has time to reply.

Varmatch is a pretty new software package and they haven't yet made
their first official release. I saw the preprint article, thought it was
interesting, and made this start in packaging it as a result.

Being unreleased yet, the major concern is for it to produce accurate
results, so you should make sure that it can reproduce the results they
claim that it can with their test data.

Thanks and regards
Afif
