You mean like what was decided a few months back and mentioned again as 
recently as last week in the thread with the subject `housekeeping'?

Sourceforge has its quirks, but I doubt there is a lot of enthusiasm for the 
amount of work involved in migrating the entire project.  Speaking for myself, 
I would rather just write code.  However, if anyone has experience in moving a 
FreeCol-sized project to alternative hosting, I am interested to hear about 
it.

Meanwhile however, we should deal with one substantial transition at a time 
IMNSHO.

Opinions are mixed on the subject.  We have had contributors that were 
strongly opposed to moving to git.  Nor am I entirely convinced sending pull 
requests is a big win for FreeCol.  They work for Linux when a fairly major 
body of work is occurring which requires review yet is too large for a just an 
attached diff on a mail message.  FreeCol is miniscule in comparison, the bar 
to full commit privileges is low, and attached diffs work fine here.
