Not that I would really recommend SF, but nowadays you get trac and some 
other hosted applications with it if you want it. In fact IIRC they are 
intending to throw out their own tracker in favour of the other tools.

See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Hosted%20Apps

But OTOH their design goes from one mediocre look to the next and it 
seems to get harder and harder to use. In the latest version the only 
place I can find the project's license information is in the admin 
section, which is not that useful if you are not an admin. The trac 
sites get an extra SF banner at the top.

Since you can register the trac frontpage as project homepage it is not 
that bad, though. It means http://${project}.sf.net ends there, as well 
as any vhosts you might have configured.

If you can live with their poor attempts at revamping themselves every 
now and then, SF is probably a decent option again. No idea how they are 
going to evolve, though.
