Are there any big projects still using SourceForge? I know "big" is a little subjective here, but it seems like most active projects have already migrated.

Despite having a mirror on github, OpenCV docs refer to SourceForge as the primary location: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_inst...

"Getting the Latest Stable OpenCV Version

Go to our page on Sourceforge;"

Our Webmin website, mailing lists, downloads, and a few other things are still running on SourceForge, for the time being. (I guess it counts as "big", with 3+ million downloads a year, it has always been a top-ten project in its category at SF.net.)

We moved revision control to github several years ago.

We just haven't had time lately to figure out what to do about the SF.net malware situation, but I can't imagine we'll stay there for too much longer, given the circumstances. We don't provide a Windows installer, so we're probably not at any immediate risk from SourceForge practices, but it doesn't seem like a smart place to be, given their behavior.

I got malware in the installer for Filezilla on my Mac. They shove malware in all sorts of non-windows stuff these days...
