First, "hasn't been updated in a couple weeks" != "dead project".

Also, you seem to be conflating vim-scripts (an automated crawler of
www.vim.org/scripts, converting them to GitHub repos) with Vundle
(itself a Vim script to allow easy installation of Vim scripts via git).

AFAICT, vim-scripts doesn't seem to be updated all that frequently,
especially lately. IIRC, it was running on Google App Engine. Maybe
changes there have made it less viable on the "free" tier. Not sure
what more to add w/o some feedback from whoever's running it.

For your specific problem, though, you should be able to point your
Vundle config directly at the tComment git repo (found in the
www.vim.org description). Change:

Bundle 'tComment' " or whatever vim-scripts calls it

To:

Bundle 'tomtom/tcomment_vim'

(Will download it directly from GitHub.)
