Self-hosting. SourceForge was certainly popular at one time, but it didn't own the market, certainly not to the extent that GitHub currently does. Many projects were simply run on whatever hardware and connectivity the project could scrounge up. For a project I founded I initially bought a used SPARCstation on EBay and installed CVS, Apache, Mailman, Bugzilla, etc. I traded consulting time with various local ISPs in exchange for bandwidth.
