One benefit I see of a extra "forges" like rubyforge is
decentralization. Right now open source has a huge dependency on
SourceForge. If it goes away or becomes unavailable, that's a major loss
to recover from. I'm more comfortable having a number of similar sites
available.
Personally, I haven't gotten a lot of benefit out of SourceForge hosting
so many sites. Usually I use the tools related to one specific project.
Rarely do I use any tools that benefit from having lots of projects
there.
