The stories of GoogleCode and Codehaus are that a system set up for
CVS/Subversion cannot compete with GitHub and BitBucket in the DVCS-
era. Has anyone tried GitLab (was Gitorious)? SourceForge is trying to
rework itself, but it is very resource intensive, and this only really
viable for an organization with large funds. All the other "forges"
that I have been associated with are now either gone or left lying
around as archives for historical purposes.

dsource.org is not, in my opinion, worth resurrecting to try and
compete with GitHub and BitBucket. If there is some non-code-hosting
role not fulfilled by dlang.org then maybe, but as it is I would make
the notice on the front page of dsource.org much larger and then just
let it be.
