I'd like to tell you that you're all good but "The software is not yet publicly available but please watch this space if you are interested" in your documentation means that what you're doing isn't actually open-source software development, and until you publish your source you are in violation of Project Hosting's terms of service. You don't have to be feature-complete and spit and polish everything before publishing what source you have; and in fact it may be counter-productive to do so.
