Yes, that has tags (aka versions) going up through version 140.12.0,
from 3 weeks ago. But...

The newest source tarball there is 7 years old: 60.7.0, from 2019.

So whoever takes over the build will have to find source tarballs
for the current versions, or else host their own. No point in
having icecat stay in the repo if it's going to be stuck at an
ancient version: I haven't checked for CVEs but I assume any modern
full-featured browser that old is riddled with holes.
