Now that it's released, I thought I'd post it as "Show HN" with a link to blog post. Happy to answer your questions!

I'm unclear on the origin of these packages: are they all original works, or a vetting and repackaging of other packages? If the later, how are improvements being sent up stream?

The latter (although some are original works); if you browse https://stablelib.com/v1/, you can see links to upstreams for each package in "Information" section. Improvements are sent via whatever method the original accepts, mostly GitHub pull requests.
