I don't think so. Urs left the community, as you know (and for reasons
unknown to me). I haven't seen anyone really maintaining OLL recently.
Andrew (in CC) had set up http://openlilylib.space/ and a migration to
GitLab at some point, but the website has been down for a while, and
I can't find the repo on GitLab. If I recall correctly, the main people
involved in coding OLL apart from Urs and Andrew were Janek and Jan-Peter.
Both of them are inactive at the moment. Did I miss anyone? (The activity
period of OLL was before I started getting involved.)

I may be wrong, but I guess the most straightforward path for you
right now is to fork this repository and advertise the fork.

The case study of how OLL fell out of maintenance is one of the
things leading me to think that a model where snippets providing
significant functionality and becoming somewhat popular get
upstreamed into the LilyPond core is a better fit for LilyPond
than them letting them be provided through external packages.
