You're right and we will explore these

I do think that right now github has multiple issues swirling around it, a lot of people and open source projects are looking for alternatives. Sourceforge used to be the place for open source software, the sooner you can offer a compelling alternative to github the more likely you are to win back a lot of dissatisfied github users.

As much as GitHub has done to antagonize people by being non-responsive on some issues, it has never gone as far as SourceForge has historically.

There's a decade of utter indifference there combined with malicious sabotage of popular projects several times over.

Going from the frying pan to the fire is hardly the best plan, especially with offerings like Gitlab, Gitorious and Bitbucket readily available.
