The odd naming is just how GitHub works. The github portgroup handles all the details of that for you; you don't need to worry about it.

Do not use "github.tarball_from releases" for this project because this project does not offer any release downloads. Leave github.tarball_from and distname at their default values.

You cannot fetch from GitHub using the curl bundled with a macOS version that old.
