My personal suggestion would actually be that customers stop using those customisations. As noted, the repo is now intentionally inaccessible and it is not clear whether that will ever change in the future and/or whether the customisations are now maintained v. abandonware. etc. etc.

I could re-upload the clone that I have of the original repo if that would help find if it’s malicious or not… Don’t have a Codeberg yet, so why not?

Sure, but someone will need to maintain the repository.

Fat chance at me being able to do it, I have a surface-level knowledge

Yes, exactly. Two considerations:
- someone needs an accurate clone of the original
- someone needs to step up and maintain it.
If these customisations provide substantial benefit still and noone is going to maintain the repo then it might as well be rolled into the official PureOS distro.
But if they are starting to suffer from bitrot, as Firefox makes incompatible changes and for other reasons, and noone is maintaining it then best just abandon.

Start with uploading the clone to Codeberg or another forge of your choice, then we can wait to see if anyone is interested in updating and maintaining the codebase thereafter.
