------------------------------+-------------------------------
 The Gettor area is a confusing mess of multiple landing pages, multiple
 repositories, and broken functionality.

 The starting point seems to be a blog post from 2016,
 https://blog.torproject.org/gettor-new-ways-download-tor-browser

 That directs to a landing page, https://gettor.torproject.org, which lists
 options.

 But https://thetorproject.github.io/gettor seems to be another landing
 page with another list of options.

 That second landing page only goes up to Tor Browser version 8.0.2, and in
 any case, the links to download Tor Browser return 404 not found.

 It looks like https://github.com/TheTorProject/gettorbrowser is empty.

 There is a repository for Gettor https://github.com/TheTorProject/gettor
 but that has had no commits since 2017.

 The similar https://github.com/torproject/gettor has more recent commits
 but is under an account https://github.com/torproject which is described
 as "unofficial" repositories.

 Also, has anyone actually checked that the email, XMPP, and Twitter
 responders still work?
