It's been too many years to remember the exact reasons, but this was not the only repo in the project. This was the "working directory" that had all kinds of random stuff that a data science project might accrue over time. Later in the project we published 3 repos which were more "cleaned up" to be potentially useful to outsiders (I use scare quotes around "cleaned up" because the codebases are still a mess, sorry).
Anyway, 3 of the 4 repos appear to still be public:
