Tracking logs of multimedia/webcamd, it was originally submitted by hselasky@ [1], and the upstream was always his repo. After he passed away, we lost not only the maintainer, but also the upstream, too. Maybe the best way would be forking from current master site and keep on doing what Hans Petter did for updating. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who is possible to do so.
