I suggest coordinating with distro maintainers, first
(most notably Debian).
Yes, I'm collecting a list of the 47 different distro maintainers' emails but it's not clear to me what I should say yet, which is important because one email to 47 maintainers and groups costs a huge amnount of valuable people's attention. I've got to get that one right if/when it comes to that.

That said, the fork would be on codebase.org which is a much more modern
platform
Given some users of SoX are blind or don't run GUIs; I would
strongly prefer accessible hosts such as GNU Savannah or
possibly SourceHut (not sure if the latter remains free)
Ah, I hadn't considered that, thanks for pointing it out.
sourcehut was the other ethical alternative I had in mind but I haven't explored it as thoroughly as codebase yet. I will also look at Savannah (thanks again!)

If I could stand GUIs and web-based things, I wouldn't use sox :P
I suspect I'm not the only one here.
You wouldn't believe the number of crappy web forms I've had to fill in, comfirmation emails I've confirmed and captchas I've solved over the last week to set up the fork infrastructure, and the experience turned me into a twitching mongoloid droid. Utterly foul. I hope we won't have to use any of it.
