 Suppose I did write my own hosting system.  What is is required for that.
 (James, you have the most experience with this question, so your input is
 especially encouraged!)

   (1)  Some means for people to create accounts

There are many schemes.  BTW, you should consider Mozilla's BrowserID
authentication scheme.

   (2)  Some means for people to upload Fossil repositories to hosted

Create empty repos and then push to them.

   (3)  Per-account bandwidth tracking?

Would you charge for bandwidth?  If not don't bother tracking it.

   (4)  Require advertising (example http://system.data.sqlite.org/) for
 unpaid accounts?

Sure.

   (5)  Require unpaid accounts to be open-source?

Other repo hosting sites tend to charge according to how many private
repos you have.  You could offer 1-3 private repos for free + a size
limit on the repos, then charge for anything beyond that.

   (6)  Some mechanism to accept payment for private or add-free accounts?

Yes, if you'll charge at all.

   (7)  Procedures to deal with DMCA takedown requests?

Speak to a lawyer about that.

 What else is needed?  James, what are your bandwidth, cpu, and disk space
 requirements?  (You can send me that via private email if you prefer.)

Egor Homakov had a great blog post[0] about the need to have separate
origins for the domain where users login to manage their data, and the
domains where user pages can be viewed.

I.e., using chiselapp.com as an example, you need two domains:
chiselapp.com and chiselapppages.com, with the former hosting only the
fossil services and any additional web interfaces, and the latter
hosting the web view of user fossil repos.

You'll also need:

 - user and repo mgmt interfaces

If you grow you'll want a search facility (search multiple repos),
edit via browser UIs, ...  Like github, basically.

 2. Adding branch name pattern filtering to sync.


if i'm not sorely mistaken, one of the contributors started work on
branch-specific syncing at some point, but i don't know how far along he
got. Maybe he'll read this and speak up.
