Why? Where's the rationale for such a decision? Currently Edmund is doing almost 100% of the work, so why move to a platform that's tailored to large development communities? Just wondering... IMHO, work (especially such that is imposed on others) should always be well motivated :-)

Moving to github would be a great step to welcome external contributions. Github or gitlab or bitbucklet, they all make it very easy to fork a project, craft a set of patches and submit them to the original author. SourceForge makes the life more complicated for external contributors that just pass by, and don't want to become a regular contributor.
That being said, it's not because you go to github/gitlab/bitbucklet that armies of contributors studendly appear, I know that. But at least, it reduces the frictions.
And as a final note: I'm not the one who opened this bug in the first place, I just agreed loudly with juschueller ;)
