Got one too.
But if fake, I don't really get its purpose.
The link seems legit, and the sourceforge.net certificates are valid.
There doesn't seem to be any URL trick, either.
So how would a third party benefit from my subscription reconfirmation?
Any ideas?

Yes; I got one too.
I have been subscribed for a long time, and this is the first message of that
kind, so I consider it spam/phishing.

Hello Gentlemen,
I just got a message, seemingly from sourceforge (sourceforge at
slashdotmedia.com), litterally mentioning emc-users as my mailing list, with
the urgent wish to confirm my subscription with sourceforge, otherwise it
would be cancelled by June 29th. The link given looks somehow fishy
(starting with sourceforge.net, followed by lots of numbers and special
characters) and contains my email address at the end.
Peter, you're right, it is just phishing spam. I had one yesterday too.
Probably everyone on the list has been or will be targeted.
Its attempt to fudge the From: address was pretty pathetic:
From 0100015c8a61ee3f-b287ce06-884f-4e3d-b422-9959bd3bbff1-000...@amazonses.com
Fri Jun 9 14:05:02 2017
From: "SourceForge.net" <noti...@slashdotmedia.com>
If your MUA doesn't show both From addresses naturally, it's worth
discovering how to tickle it when dubious.
