Should J2O reupload fixed versions of broken scripts?

From time to time, JJ2+ updates to a new version of AngelScript, and a handful of existing scripts can end up breaking as a result. In such cases, if the original authors can't be contacted, should J2O mods/admins reupload those existing scripts so that they can be played again?

For example, Psychomondus straight-up does not compile anymore: the author tried to do something that was never worked to begin with, and at some point AngelScript updated to treat that as a syntax error. The author was last online in November 2022. Should J2O reupload it? Or is that an infringement on the author's rights?

Are there other examples out there besides Psychomondus? Does the number of such uploads, or their popularity, affect the decision? Or how much time has passed since the original upload?

What about (parts of) levels that never worked to begin with, even for reasons other than AngelScript?
