IMHO Hurd-Extras was a very bad idea from the start. People writing
useful translators should just man up and assign copyrights, so they can
be included in the main Hurd repository -- where they actually stand a
chance of getting some maintenance and deployment...

You mean Git submodules? Yeah, that's an option worth considering. I'm a
little undecided on submodules vs. monolithic repo. (I definitely
dislike the idea of completely independant repos.)
