Not the right place. You should be looking in CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet. As I

tlmgr only uses tlnet.

Looking outside of tlnet for a TL package to be installed by tlmgr is like
looking at the upstream site for a .deb package to be installed by apt (assuming
only the main repositories are used, of course).
