Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is not really a problem but an idea for the betterment of the old Wappalyzer community.
I have been a long time fan of Wappalyzer and contributed / corrected a few technologies when it was open source. Now that it's private, there are many forks popping up with no universal "source of truth" for the technologies. This is leading to the community being fragmented and not working together towards a common goal.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would be beneficial for everyone if the Wappalyzer community can align on a good "source of truth" that can house the "technologies", "categories", and "groups" files. This will allow not only the JS forks to benefit, but also the repos that are ported into other languages.

This is one example repo that is actively being maintained and could be an option: https://github.com/enthec/webappanalyzer

Describe alternatives you've considered

Given the HTTPArchive's reputation, it may actually make sense for this "source of truth" to be under your GitHub organization so people know its trustworthy and never going to be made private like before 🤦

Additional context

TBH, I don't actually care if this happens but I see people actively contributing to forks all over the place so I thought why not direct everyone to a single place to work together.
