Some do (the Alioth admins, for a start :-). Oh, and it's Gforge, not Sourceforge (which has ceased to be free for years). >> Imho this would only make sense if integrating these two is hard, >> and if non-Debian projects are hosted on Alioth (I don't know). > > Yeah, I couldn't tell you why that feature is even enabled on > alioth. Because having it available doesn't hurt, and project admins can enable/disable trackers on their project as they see fit. > Do people actually use it?

Not many, admittedly: we have a total of about 3600 tracker items in the database. But since we have a few cases of upstream development hosted on Alioth, it makes sense to offer an alternative to the Debian BTS that not everyone likes.
