The link was not updated because forks are generally not a good thing

The gcc SC can probably help make gcc-g95 the GNU Fortran 95 project.
:-)
The gcc-g95 project forked from the original g95
<http://g95.sourceforge.net> project because the maintainer of the
original project, Andy Vaught, is obviously a good programmer (he
wrote most of the parser), but he has shown over and over again that
he is a difficult maintainer to work together with on "his" project.
I like your solution to the problem. :-)
That does not make this whole fork issue any better, and we would
still prefer to work with Andy. He has been making steady progress in
his own tree just like we have, but he has decided to only distribute
binaries but to keep the source code to himself, unfortunately. We
are trying to work towards a solution for this.

Pretend that is doesn't exist. The smart people catch up in a day, the
slow ones might take 3 years, eventually, they will come to understand
the truth.
