Now that the issue has been raised, I cannot help but wonder about the
implications of this mishap on gnuplot's future.

Sourceforge's admins have already expressed their intent of
discontinuing their CVS service (see
http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-attack-full-report/ ), meaning
that gnuplot will have to migrate to SVN, git, or something else. Not
that that would be a bad thing in itself, on the contrary, I'd
consider any of the alternatives better than CVS. But in light of
Sourceforge's response to this attack (and, well, according to some
rumors, certain nefarious individuals were coming and going inside
Sourceforge's system at will for quite some time now), we might want
to think about ditching them altogether and move to a different
service.
