This fork of cura has basically been abandoned by upstream, and the new company that acquired Lulzbot has gone out of compliance with the source code for the firmware. They have made it very clear that they have no real interest in working with the community to improve this situation, and I no longer have any motivation to maintain these packages.
Accordingly, I've orphaned the following packages:
* cura-lulzbot * lulzbot-marlin-firmware * CuraEngine-lulzbot * python-uranium-lulzbot
~spot
P.S. I opened an upstream pull request to add support for the Lulzbot TAZ Pro and the Mini 2 in the main Cura codebase (still actively maintained). I would highly recommend that anyone considering reviving these packages devote their efforts in that direction instead.

Hey spot, The packages are retired on rawhide now.
Should cura obsolete cura-lulzbot?

Upstream cura has its own config directory and is much newer, so I don't think that helps - it's essentially a different program.
I configured cura to work with my printer by setting up my printer as custom and copying the start/end gcode. As a bonus, the slicer is much newer and improved, so I don't think I'll miss cura-lulzbot. FAME 3D has actually opened a PR to cura now as well: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/10232
I did try to update lulzbot-marlin-firmware, but a) Lulzbot's forks are a disaster to unravel and b) the arduino package is retired in F35+. Instead, I used this firmware: https://github.com/drunken-octopus/drunken-octopus-marlin
