One of my weekly tasks is to highlight some amount of projects on our front 
page. Before we do that, we research each project to make reasonably sure that 
actual source exists.

It's probably safe to guess that "most folks" don't read our TOU so are not 
aware that source is a required component. Ideally, that source should be 
available for download - our TOU makes that fairly clear, "In addition, the 
Code that you submit must also be made available in human-readable (i.e., 
“Source Code”) form. Whenever reasonably feasible, you agree that you will make 
Source Code available on or via SourceForge.net corresponding to Code that you 
post, submit, display or distribute. You must make Source Code available for 
all portions of Code that you have modified, enhanced or otherwise created 
derivative works from (with any such modification or derivative work being a 
“Change”)." 

With that, it would be nice if the process indicated a way to package up source 
for distribution, not only reference in a repo or even located elsewhere.
