I'm sorry that there was some bad timing regarding further discussion of
hosting. However, the simple fact of the matter is that the majority of
Wesnoth developers who care about hosting do not want or like Sourceforge.
They do like and want Github. Surely you understood from the posts at the
time that many developers were not happy about the prospect of moving to
Sourceforge?

I believe that most of the work you did is still reusable in moving to
Github and others have expressed willingness to do the work required to get
us working on Github.
