Question Unity Packages on GitHub - where are they? Why are most not accessible?

Some of Unity's official packages are publicly available on GitHub, like https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics, which previously was located at https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline (it still is available there - without a comment that it has moved).

This is very useful because sometimes, we need to make small changes and that works really well when the package is still connected to its original repository (you can still easily do updates of the package without having to separately track and redo your own changes all the time). Also, it's often useful to review the history for changes.

Unfortunately, a lot of packages, like DOTS and Unity Physics (based on DOTS), apparently are hosted on GitHub (they have Git URLs defined in their packages.json files, including revision IDs) - but not publicly accessible. Others, like TextMesh Pro have an internal URL (github.cds.internal.unity3d.com), so that's also not accessible.

Why?
