Would have been helpful with a specific reference to the user and script
in question. I would guess this revert is intended to stop the hg clones
(instead getting release tarballs from ftp.gnu.org):

If that was indeed the root cause. (And I would hope github scripts run
behind some kind of http cache; if appropriate environment variables are
set, wget would use that by default).
