homebrew/autoupdate is no longer official. 
DomT4 and the Homebrew maintainers have agreed that homebrew/autoupdate
is a better fit for not being an official tap and has been moved back
to his user account.

Documentation and code has been adjusted accordingly and it was added
to the list of interesting taps.

Interesting Taps and Forks

A tap is Homebrew-speak for a Git repository containing additional formulae.

Homebrew has the capability to add (and remove) multiple taps to your local installation with the brew tap and brew untap commands; run man brew in your terminal for usage information. The main repository at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core, often called homebrew/core, is always built-in.

Your taps are Git repositories located at $(brew --repository)/Library/Taps.
