For me, options are:
1. Migrate to Google code:
Pros: very simple UI, fast, git repo, issue tracker (no category, only
labels), wiki pages, file release management. Can use google groups
for discussions.
Cons: since Google code is not related to Google+ or mobile, the
service might be terminated unexpectedly someday. That's the fate of
Google services that do not make money.

2. Migrate to github:
Pros: fast, nice git repo management.
Cons: no issue traker, no mailing list, no other things our projects
will need. Only the git repo is good.

3. Keep sourceforge and move the git repos to github.
Pros: still having the issue trackers and mailing lists, and we can
use better git code browser and others.
Cons: I'm not sure if this violates the user agreement of sf.net.
IIRC, it has some restrictions on this.

The most applicable option seems to be #1, but after seeing what
happens to Google Reader, Google Code Search, and other dead services,
I'm not that sure. Since Chromium is using Google Code, I guess Google
code will not be terminated, but who knows?

Just my two cents
