Do you know anybody who is hosting it for community projects such as what I described? I'm a bit wary of hosting another application myself as it takes time away from developing the things I actually want to create. Regards, Daniel

What about https://taiga.io/ ? Looks like an evolution of redmine, it's free software, and they offer hosting free of charge for public projects. I didn't try it, though, nor know how easy or difficult could be to move the data in the hosted project to an own instance in case you want it someday, and/or to other management system in case they vanish or become nonfree...

In my own experience, the more services I host, even if they appear trivial to support, the more likely one of them will need some attention the same day that I am leaving for vacation or whatever. Another problem I've had is that sometimes the packages are in Debian and then they are abandoned (e.g. Bugzilla) and then I am stuck running that service on some old version of Debian (the old Bugzilla packages kept working on wheezy boxes but they fail if a box upgrades to jessie). People often don't appreciate the effort that teams like DSA put in to keep services running 24x7 on the public Internet, if a service gets used seriously, there is usually a lot more to it than just dropping in the package.
