Looks as if is semi-active/fallen-asleep aswell:
https://devel.trisquel.info/tomlukeywood/unetbootin_libre_edition

https://notabug.org/tomlukeywood/Unetbootin_Libre_Edition
disappeared aswell, but it went here:
https://notabug.org/tomlukeywood/FreeNetBootin

Maybe there's a patch/substitute way to do this and keep in sync
with upstream.
Last conversation on the  thread is from 2015-06-30, can one
of you people involved in trying to get unetbootin into Guix
contact the fork developer?

We can take on the example of this fork instead:

Ouch, sorry.

I checked...FUSBi has been discontinued.  :-(

Possibly we can learn from other distros?  I checked if I could use
Debian (which I'm familiar with) but they do not have FUSBi and they
sadly also do not strip unetbootin; so this needs a little more
attention.

Greetings,
Jan

Also note that the unetbootin distribution bundles a *lot* of
executables. I'm not sure if it's usable without them, or if FUSBi has
the same problem.
