It could be treated the same way the git project treats gitk and
git-gui. The sources are still included in the main project and
distributed along with the rest of it but they are merged from an
external upstream where the real development happens. The upstream
project is also free to make releases on whatever schedule they
determine (although these days there isn't much development going on
in for gitk/git-gui).
