As part of the OSGeo GSoC 2022 I will be publishing very shortly working
and usable libnode packets with a clear C/C++ API.
This new API is pending a merge in Node.js - whether this will go through
or not is still not clear - but even if it goes through - there still
won't be libnode repository. The libnode package in most Linux distros is
simply unusable in its current form. These packages are meant to be the
Nodesource repositories equivalent for embedding Node.js in C/C++.
As this is an OSGeo project, these packages should probably be hosted by
OSGeo too.
A debian repository is nothing more than an FTP or HTTP accessible
directory tree with a well-known structure. There exists an utility in
Debian/Ubuntu (reprepro) that takes as input new packets and sorts them
into the tree. If no one is inclined to manage this repo, I am willing to
volunteer installing it.

Comment (by robe):
@mmomtchev,
I don't know much about debian packaging. There are two routes to go with
this.
Assuming you can build the package yourself, sounds like the easiest thing
might be to provide a folder for you on https://download.osgeo.org to host
the package.
We also have https://repo.osgeo.org (which uses nexus, which says it
supports debian packages). Instructions here -

administration/formats/apt-repositories
Let me know which you think would be better.
