thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made an entry
in the catalogue repository.
The package should by now have reached all CTAN mirrors.

tablestyles – Styles for tables with new commands
This package tries to introduce a separation of text and style in tables by defining reusable table commands and a simple interface to define a style for a table. Furthermore the package defines commonly used column styles and a bugfix command for lists in tables.
However, the author told us in March 2023: “I wrote [this package] about ten years ago, [...] since at that time no package with layout options for tabulars was available. [...] However since nowadays much better packages are available that do the same job, but are much more professional in code base, usability and results, I want to remove my package from CTAN.”
