Would it make sense for someone to import it to github?

If nothing else it should be be easy enough to start with 0, then
update to 0a 0b and then 0c. so we have what history is available.

(checks github)

Aha - I see that johnwfinigan has already put up a 0c, though it
doesn't seem to have the 0, 0a & 0b history
https://github.com/johnwfinigan/4.3BSD-quasijarus0c/commits/master

Actually I might just do the 0..0c history into a github entry myself,
then anyone else can just {v,}fork and take it from there as desired :-p
