What do other people think?
There are three options as far as I can see:
1 leave things as they are
2 stay in sourceforge but convert to git/HG
3 move to a different server (bitbucket (HG)[1]) or githug (git).
So please hands up: 1 or 2 or 3?

I am not sure I understand: github and bitbucket offer the possibility
to download the package as a zip without using git or hg. Are you saying
that sourceforge does not offer that but requires a script which where
not provided by sourceforge? So in the case of a move that script I
think is provided by bitbucket or github.
BTW, I mentioned the possibility to generate a MELPA packet for matlab
(it cannot be ELPA because of copyright issues). This would simplify the
installation for the GNU emacs users, but leave xemacs out.[2] a MELPA
packet should dwell in github.

Footnotes:
[1] bitbucket also supports git but I have the feeling that once the
decision is for git, github seems the preferred choice.
[2] xemacs pkg system is right now in zombie state, all new packages
are in the pre-release state.
