If you need mailinglists, I think that's pretty much where you have to
go. github will give you everything except a mailinglist, and I
believe the same holds for bitbucket. I don't know of anybody other
than sourceforge that actually provide mailinglists.

Hmm, pldebugger is quite intimately related to pgAdmin, as that's the 
GUI that uses the pldebugger API, so on second thought it's probably 
best to just have all pldebugger-related discussions on the pgadmin 
mailing list. In fact, there's currently no mailing list for pldebugger 
anyway, so the volume isn't very high :-). Then github can provide 
everything else.


Actually, I'm not sure if pldebugger needs a separate website either, 
could just create a subpage on the pgadmin website.

I'll be moving it to git.postgresql.org in the not-to-distant future.

FWIW, I'm thinking of pushing pg_filedump to sourceforge.  But that's
mostly because I already have a sourceforge account, not because it
needs a mailing list ...
