The policy is that we say nice things about sourceforge and we appreciate the service they provide to the open-source community. But they really pissed me off one day with some of their policies, so we vacated and moved all our services to two machines I admin locally here at my university. Subsequently, sourceforge relaxed some of their objectionable policies, but I'm happy taking care of the servers myself. Unfortunately, SF doesn't seem to have any mechanism for removing mailing lists, or projects from their system. So, you will find flightgear stuff at SF, but it is completely abandoned, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'd be happy to give someone admin rights if they want to go twiddle over there and be responsible for receiving all the spam we still get to the abandoned mailing lists. Really, SF is great, but I'm happier on machines I admin myself.
