Consider switching 7zip download location to direct GitHub rather than www.7-zip.org?

Anecdotally, over the past few days, www.7-zip.org has been unavailable/broken for some longish periods. It seems there must be some challenges.

As of writing, the official links on the website have all been changed to point directly to Github, e.g https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/download/26.00/7z2600-x64.exe although the existing links are just 302 redirects to GitHub anyway.

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

I understand that one can install 7-zip separately if necessary, but that kind of undermines the value of Scoop :-)

I wonder if Scoop could/should switch to direct GitHub release asset links (even if discovering new releases via www.7-zip.org) which will likely be more reliable going forward?
