Where to, if I may ask? I have some small projects I'm trying to get away from SF, and the mailing lists are the hardest bit --- finding mailing list providers which support bulk import isn't easy.
GroupServer [1] is very nice, a hybrid between an online forum interface and a fully-functional mailing list. The installation and configuration process is fairly involved, though, but turnkey hosting is available through OnlineGroups.net [2], from $2/month [3].

#62Are 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.
lame (lib-lame :) ) I maintain a ffmpeg build and two of codec code destinations are SF. lame and opencore-amr.

#63SourceForge was founded 1999. Now, 16 years later they start to abuse their power. GitHub was launched 2008. Does this mean we can expect GitHub to start abusing our data by 2024?

I got malware in the installer for Filezilla on my Mac. They shove malware in all sorts of non-windows stuff these days...
I didn't believe you at first, but I just went to install it and...wow... https://imgur.com/a/o6cSW
I just don't see how this is a trick. There's not even a "default" option here, except for the Accept button being on the right. How can anyone possibly click the word "Accept" without even glancing at the text surrounding it - even a glance shows you the giant icon with the slogan "Mac Cleaner Clean Up Junk Files on Your Mac"? If you look at the bullet points, the first one clearly identifies what it does. So it's an opt-in screen. There's no default. The action word is "Accept" and the top bullet is about the additional software you would be installing, with a giant picture and caption showing the same thing. Or you can click "skip."
This is above-board if you're going to do this sort of thing. Hell, given how above-board it is I might just click "Accept" in this case! (knowing that the devs opted into it as well.)
It is very, very hard to read this as anything other than an opt-in screen. How can you be any less ambiguous??
EDIT: I didn't even notice, there is even grey small text that spells this out in completely unambiguous words! (Thank you for considering this offer from our advertiser...your choice does not affect installation of FileZilla.)
I honestly don't even know that I would ask FileZilla to change anything whatsoever about this screen. It's great!

Discourse is what we're currently looking at. They have very nice pricing options for both one-time-installs and continued hosting/support.

#68Small plug, but I suppose the only people reading these comments are interested in tmux: https://github.com/tmux-plugins

#69I notice they're using Google Groups for mailing lists - how have people found Google Groups as a technical mailing list provider?
It's not bad, to be honest, just a bit awkward to use if you don't have a google account (it's sometimes fairly hard to subscribe without one). I wouldn't recommend it for FOSS projects. Unfortunately, there's not much alternative out there. I'm currently looking at Discourse, which has a mailing list mode. We might move to that.

I believe, and I might be very wrong, that tmux is developed in the OpenBSD CVS tree, and patches are then merged from there to Github. The patches would need to be applied to the code in CVS, so a Github pull-request would be useless.
