Seems not yet. Allura at SourceForge works and looks viable. It appears to be reasonably actively maintained there. A more-or-less up-to-date copy of our Issues DB is already loaded. Savannah may be prepared to install, maintain and host Allura, or they may be prepared to let us install and maintain it. Don't know who 'us' would be - not me, I have no *nix experience. David says he'll contact them to ask. The third option is to install and maintain Allura on a server of our own. I believe there may be LilyPond users willing to provide or pay for server resources, but we'd need to provide the effort to install and maintain both the server code and Allura. Given the problems Google seem to have had that might not be trivial. AFAIK there is no alternative to Allura on the table, so that seems a de facto decision. And of course the scripts still have to be re-engineered to make life easier, whichever option is chosen (or forced on us).
