Yes. Many of them do.
A nice benefit of Gabor's CRAN mirror on GitHub is access to the GitHub.
Here I constrain on user:cran (to get just that mirror, and nothing) and
CMakeLists.txt. Seems to find 47 repos -- corresponding to 47 packages.

How did you construct that search string?
Do you think something like this should be added to some other
general search capability like the sos or CRANsearcher packages?
I ask in part, because there will be a session at useR!2017 on
"NAVIGATING THE R PACKAGE UNIVERSE", and this seems possibly relevant to
that discussion. (That session is scheduled for Wed. July 5, from 17:00
- 18:30. The organizers of that session expect that a fair portion of
that time will be devoted to discussion of other possibilities, hoping
we can build a team who will work to improve the ability of users to
find what they want. See
"https://user2017.brussels/news/2017/navigating-the-r-package-universe";.)
