As far as I know (from my discussions with Martin), there was some issues with SourceForge at one point. They blocked certain countries, and they had some Git service outages. Both Martin and I didn't like that. So Martin set up a GitLab account which he believed was hosted outside of the USA (so no blocked countries rubbish). But he kept the SourceForge repo because the mailing list was set up there, and its not possible (or easy) to migrate that and all users to a new mailing list. >From Patrick's message, it seems Gitlab is going to play hard-ball due to privacy concerns. So indeed, maybe now is a good time to move everything (repo, bug tracker and mailing list) to a new service provider - a service where more that one person at least holds the keys, so you don't get into this situation again (I'm considering the same for my fpGUI project now). GitHub is good, but not sure for how long - since Microsoft bought them. Maybe all will be well. Either way, Github supports Team/Group/Organization accounts were multiple people can manage a open source project (price is FREE for open source projects). https://github.com/organizations/new I would imagine Gitlab and other git service providers has something similar. ps: One thing I'm not sure of... I don't think Github has a mailing list or NNTP newsgroup service for a project. I could be wrong, I haven't checked in a very long time. Maybe one of you know the answer to this?
