Github is maybe lacking for a semi-major free software project looking to create a web presence. It does have source hosting, projects pages, and a bug-tracking system, but it doesn't let you upload builds for downloading any more (without a bit of hackery). There are probably other features that would be useful too, like having some sort of forum for users. Github is also kind of cluttered with small projects and forks. It maybe has kind of a low signal-to-noise ratio.

And Sourceforge is . . . Sourceforge.

It might be useful for there to be a website that would fill in the gaps. It would provide semi-major free software projects with the tools and hosting to create real web presences. It wouldn't even necessarily have to provide source hosting.
