What exactly was the reason for acquiring SourceForge? Was it that it came along with Slashdot?<p>I don&#x27;t have much interest in what happens to it, but there might be space for a well-run, well-designed source control&#x2F;issue service.<p>One thing that SF has is also email lists, doesn&#x27;t it?  Does Github have anything comparable? Or are lists even necessary anymore if you have a quality issue fracker?
