GOOGLE_CODE has gone away?

Hello, all.
I've found a port  (http://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/flow-tools-ng/)
which is marked as BROKEN.
The last commit says "GOOGLE_CODE has gone away.".

But at least this particular port is still available in a new place:
https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/flow-tools/flow-tools-0.68.5.1.tar.bz2

I suppose other ports which depends on Google code can be resurrected too.
Is Mk/bsd.sites.mk right place to fix it?

What if add to the following

MASTER_SITE_GOOGLE_CODE+= \
        http://${PROJECTHOST}.googlecode.com/files/
.endif

something like

https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/${PROJECTHOST}/

What do you think?
