Interesting. That link is what is specified at ​https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g/releases/tag/2022.10.3.

The file is available at ​https://ftp2.osuosl.org/pub/blfs/12.3/n/

Double checking, this package is only referenced in gparted and udisks2, both commented out.

I looked at arch and they do not reference it for udisks2, but do reference for gparted. They retrieve ntfs-3g with 

pkgver=2022.10.3
git+https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g.git#tag=${pkgver}

That said, since we don't currently reference the package and since it has not been updated since 2022, perhaps we should just archive it.

FYI, building the kernel with NTFS3_FS, we can r/w the NTFS partition without the ntfs-3g package.

Replying to Zhang Wen:

FYI, building the kernel with NTFS3_FS, we can r/w the NTFS partition without the ntfs-3g package.

We've already documented the kernel implementation and the rationale to keep ntfs-3g even though we don't need it to mount NTFS at the very beginning of the ntfs-3g page.
