I was puzzling over that myself too. (But my tendency is to shoot first and 
ask questions later.) Trolling thru the archives I found some mention of 
sourceforge, and lo and behold:

http://otr.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=otr/otr;a=tree

Too bad I didn't find it before I started hacking at it.

If you're referring to me, don't thank me yet. The pidgin folks have to merge 
my patch before the plugin is usable... I also found another email from 
someone claiming to have started a port back in February, but nothing ever 
since that.
