All of this is fixable with trivial CSS tweaking.

A CDN can help but it doesn't avoid having to pull in ~200k inc jQuery at some point. In the case of Sams site there are no forms and that is one of the main benefits of using BS3. A few 100 bytes extra of CSS can provide simple buttons and a single media query to toggle the body width.
Right. The layout is simple enough so that a complete reengineering is overkill.

I have asked in the past if Sam would move from Sourceforge to Github but he seems to prefer the Sourceforge arrangement. It's easier for him to produce the tarballs.
At this point there shouldn't be much of a problem pushing the git repo to github. Until recently, the biggest problem with github was, ironically, their broken mail servers. They HELOed themselves as something other than their DNS name, which blocked all github notifications to me, and I'm too lazy to whitelist them. Some time ago I did send them a support request, and gotten a weak promise to look into it. Earlier this week I did get some github mail delivered, not sure if this is fixed for good, or if there are still lingering issues.
For now, I pushed both git repos to github. We'll see what happens in the future.
I think it would be practical to ask Sam to at least move the SF wiki to the courier-contrib project at Github. That might get some more contributions to much needed how-to documentation (beyond the excellent but terse reference docs Sam already provides.)
I'll look into it.There are still some Sourceforge services that github can't really replace, though. Initially when I looked at it, a while ago, they really didn't offer any means of downloading packaged tarballs, only tagging commits as "releases". Looks like they might have something now.
Github also doesn't have mailing lists.
