Does Sourceforge bring any unique assets besides its name, which is arguably a negative? There does seem to be a current in the air of anti-GitHub or post-GitHub discussions, but GitLab or Bitbucket seem better positioned than Sourceforge to grab that opportunity.
- mook 11y agosf.net does also do mailing list and shell account, and I _think_ possibly non-static web sites. None of them are for high-volume things, though, as far as I know.

The name is probably neutral at best. It has a lot of good memories from older open-source types who remember them putting up something that worked in the early days. But there's also a lot of bad memories from people who remember them mostly for serving malware and deceptive advertising.
