I'm not convinced, I'm afraid. According to the SMHasher README [0]:

 >This is the home for the MurmurHash 
<https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/tree/master/src> family of hash 
functions along with the SMHasher 
<https://github.com/aappleby/smhasher/tree/master/src> test suite used 
to verify them.

So that would count that as an independent upstream distribution of 
murmurhash, right?
