Have you thought about moving WampServer to GitHub (you can even mirror to GitLab for backup)? It would be better, at least in my opinion, because then more people could contribute and help this project.

You can't trust SourceForge anymore anyway.

SourceForge is modifying official installers from popular projects. They're adding adware to it against the will of the project owners. See for e.g.:

Gimp: http://www.gimp.org (skip the first news, the two news following are about this issue at the time of writing; I don't see a way to link to it directly)
VLC media player: https://blog.l0cal.com/2015/06/02/what-happened-to-sourceforge/
Notepad++: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-plus-plus-leaves-sf.html

GitHub has a way to setup a devops pipeline, also a Discussions feature which is like a forum for your repository (example: https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query/discussions).
Please move to GitHub!
