it was implemented as a separate repository?

Yes, in the modm-ext organization, which contains all our support code.
We chose to buffer external repositories ourselves for three reasons:

  1. to reduce submodule sizes: We usually only need a few files from the whole project, and don't need to clone everything else.
  2. to guarantee the submodule's future existance: Perhaps the external repo gets deleted, or the commit SHA we depend on gets force pushed away. We previously forked project for that reason, but that didn't make their sizes smaller.
  3. The external organization doesn't spam the main org full with automated update messages and nobody's tempted to open issues on any of these repositories…
