If you check the archives, you can find the thread were there was
something of an agreement that when you look at all things,
SourceForge was the best bet. That is not to say it doesn't have its
problems.

why is the Sourceforge repository best? they have by far the worst
uptime record among the leading centralized project hosts like
Google Code, Berlios, Savannah, Launchpad. plus their website is
horrible.
As for the transition, its going to be a lot of work.
why is it going to be a lot of work? i recently converted all my
projects to git - just a matter typing 'git-svnimport /var/svn'.
theres also a git-cvsimport, which i haven't tried, but is
presumably just as simple since SVN is just CVS with a few
annoyance fixes. every last commit was retained, down to the tags
and log messages, all with no effort on my part. free software can
be great..
I think the only thing preventing it from happening is someone
taking the lead on that
project. Its yours if you want it.
telling someone who doesnt even have commit access (i think, never
seen the name in the commit emails) to 'take the lead' on the
transition is silly. assuming there is a svn-cvsimport script (and
assuming you want to switch to SVN, imo the time to do that was
around 3 years ago - now there are better tools like git and
mercurial), it boils down to do you find CVS annoying enough to
want to switch? Tim has shifted from work on devel to a rewrite
occuring in his SVN repository, so the main people to ask would be
Mathieu and Chun working on DesireData, and HCS working on builds
and documentation. we already know Miller doesn't like CVS..
