Why not as its own file in the directory of the source code? Or in another directory...

I've seen junk drawer directories in repos full of similar files and usually the scripts don't get updated over time (perhaps the authors don't want to have their updates to the scripts reviewed). Having it with the file it manages commented out indicates it's intended as a purpose-built tool or historical artifact just for this file.

Beyond this it's just personal/team preference though.
