They are provided by Oracle/MySQL, from Oracle/MySQL servers. If you want Oracle to add Tumbleweed support to their packages, I would suggest you contact them.
The Oracle and SUSE/openSUSE MySQL repositories are connected, because all are based on the same Gibhub project. The build service repositories use generated RPM files from this project: https://github.com/openSUSE/mysql-packaging I do not see how you establish a link between the mysql-packaging github project. I am under the impression that generator is used to generate our mariadb specfile used for our mariadb packages in openSUSE. Look at this: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-12/msg00266.html
That does not explain how "The Oracle and SUSE/openSUSE MySQL repositories are connected" - there is zero relation between rpms provided by oracle and openSUSE mysql-packaging github project. This project serves purpose of sharing common parts of spec files/patches between different versions of MariaDB and MySQL (MySQL community edition). I am really not sure which other repositories are you talking about, both MySQL and MariaDB are developed in server:database, thus they come from same repository. I would also like to avoid any potential confusion - openSUSE never provided supported "Oracle MySQL", only community edition of MySQL. Last but not least, apart from referencing support statements by third party software, and stating lack of interest in switching from MySQL to MariaDB I have not seen any technical (as in missing functionality) reason to keep MySQL (whose development is anyways limited nowadays, and Oracle's shift to providing only cloud services, not software is making this questionable investment of time/resources anyways). That being sad anybody interested in keeping MySQL in Factory is of course free to do so. Regards Martin
