It's not as much of an upheaval as you might think: you don't have to
move your project wholesale to SourceForge, indeed we still use the CVS
repository maintained at OGI and our web pages live on haskell.org at
Yale.  But just by opening a project at SourceForge you get a bug
tracker and various other cool gadgets, plus access to the compile farm.
