They did and I have packaged it:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/source/timeshift/

Sorry no SlackBuild (I build it using slkbuild) but you get the idea.

As an aside, I mentioned grub-btrfs as optional dependency but won't use it,
instead I am writing a shell script doing the same, i.e. including boot entries
for the snapshots created by Timeshift in the GRUB menu, that will also serve as
a front-end to Timeshift itself, allowing to list, create, delete and restore
snapshots. It will have a text menu to help users relying on a screen reader or
braille device, but I digress.

Cheers,
Didier
