Was not SourceForge bundling malware with open source project releases?
That was the moment when I decided to drop SourceForge forever.

Even if the current owner doesn't do that, who's to say who the owner will be tomorrow?
Maybe it's time for a code 'matrix' too. Especially now that github was taken over by Microsoft, prompting many projects to move away.
I don't think Microsoft is a bad caretaker but something with zero commercial interest at heart is always better IMO.
Well, that's just an argument for only using services that are open source, such that you could self-host, and more importantly, someone else can stand up a new (paid or otherwise) hosting service in competition with the one that has gone bad.
And a service that has been sold countless times and has engaged in shady behaviour in the past scores pretty badly there.
