I understand that most people want to move to other more modern tools, it's up to you. However, what baffled me is why the author's choice not to move is a problem? Did we pay them to move and they did not move as promised? Was there some crowd funding to move that was not fulfilled?

Because Sourceforge is horrible to use and was at one point actively pushing malware? It's pretty obvious tbh.

I just didn't think Sourceforge was still running. There was a mass exodus from it about 20 years ago when it became a massive ad farm that started injecting ads into people's tarballs.

It was never as good as freshmeat.net even in its heyday.
