I also couldn't find a current and active project of vecmath. I have
handled this like I usually do for games. If the upstream homepage is
gone, I change the homepage field in d/control and d/copyright and point
to the corresponding tracker.debian.org page. Users will always get a
valid address which can be trusted and is controlled by Debian and the
sources are only a few clicks away.

Emmanuel (who should really use an IRC bouncer like znc :-) ) suggested
to use sites like archive.org but I believe a Debian controlled site is
preferable.

As already confirmed on IRC, I have removed you from Uploaders.

Cheers,

Markus
