Actually, why not move all the official domain machinery to matplotlib.org? That can be managed with the github tools, and github/pypi can be used for downloads with a far simpler workflow than the particular incarnation of UX hell that is sourceforge's upload system... We've been doing that for a while with ipython since we moved to ipython.org, and we've been very happy. With suitable redirects in place, no google rank will be lost nor will users be confused, and gradually everyone's bookmarks and habits will transition to mpl.org. If you guys want to do that and run into any issues, we (ipython) will be happy to share how it works for us and help out.
