Thank you. That pointed into the right direction.

The thread contains a little script to get all modules
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/097023.html).

However, the script does not really work. (In every iteration of the
loop of the script, the --delete to rsync deletes the files of the
module from the previous iteration. Just omitting the --delete would not
be correct, either.)

Using the information from the script, I wrote, tested, and wikified
something else (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX).
