I'd like to offer a solution for this requirement. VA Software, the
company that runs SourceForge.net, Slashdot, Linux.com etc
would be happy to host the project on a dedicated instance of
SourceForge Enterprise as it's contribution to Fedora. You can see
an example of SourceForge Enterprise at https://forge.joomla.org - this
site was launched about 7 months ago for the Joomla community.
It now has over 22,000 registered users and sees about 250,000 unique
visitors a month. The deployment stack is all Open
Source: RedHat ES, JBoss, CVS, Subversion, Apache, Postgres etc. Having
it part of the extended SourceForge family means we can
drive a lot of traffic and provide lots of visibility for the project.
(Note: SourceForge Enterprise is about four years ahead of
SourceForge.net. If you think you know SourceForge Enterprise
because you know SourceForge.net -- you don't. Check it out. You can see
it in action running Joomla Forge, or you can
sign up to evaluate the app at http://ondemand.sourceforge.com)

So, someone today wanted to move a Fedora-related bit of source
to externally available CVS. This was easily enough done; just
import it onto cvs.fedora:/cvs/devel, add an ACL, etc.
He then asked 'now, what if I want to release tarballs?'. Oops.
So, this leads to: what do we want to do for project hosting?
- CVS/<scm-of-choice>?
- mailing lists?
- bug tracking?
- web space?
How do we tie it together? Do we take the savannah software?
Something else? Roll our own? (shudder)
This is going to become even more of a need when we decomission
i18n.redhat.com and move all of that source...
