This content on CTAN is packaged independently of the ConTeXt project, so if you have a problem with ConTeXt itself, it is best to report it to the official ntg-context@ntg.nl mailing list.
If you notice that ConTeXt is mispackaged in TeX Live or CTAN, then please open a new issue on GitHub, email the public ntg-context@ntg.nl or tex-live@tug.org mailing lists, or email me privately at tex@maxchernoff.ca. Pull requests are also gladly accepted.
