I agree. I've been running a git-svn mirror of gtkg for some time now.

There is also the FLOSS based gitorius. However I currently host a lot of git repos on github and it's merging and pull request tools are very handy. About the only thing they don't handle is mailing lists. However there are no reasons why development can't be distributed between github and sourceforge. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ briefcase, n: A trial where the jury gets together and forms a lynching party.
