Most of the active projects moved off the Sourceforge due to its bad practices and ugly, inefficient interface.
If you consider moving the project to GitHub or GitLab, surely it will attract more attention to the project, from both users and developers. It will ease autobuilds and testing, Coverity and LGTM checks, release process and accepting pull requests. Love the project, hope it will get more attention.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
To be fair, the 'bad practices' and 'ugly inefficient interface' were from years ago. As for autobuilds and testing, a standard git/svn interface is provided just like github, with tons of autobuild integrations, so that's not really an issue either?
The bad business practices were stamped out when ownership changed in 2016 as well, when Dice.com sold off slashdot and sourceforge.
