Well, there is savannah.gnu.org. That is exactly what it is for (created as a response to everyone and their dog hosting their projects on SourceForge).

But I'll be honest. The main reason people want to use these services is the hosting, not the software. That's why you see large numbers of people moving from GitHub to GitLab. They are willing to give up the software that they are used to in order to go with a hosting provider with which they have more trust.

But if you are in a mood to write code, I'll give you my wish list: Issue tracker and review tool built into git itself. You can start here: https://github.com/google/git-appraise

Canonical's bazaar is also Foss, as is the new source forge. Both are rather complex to self-host, though.

So is gitlab in a sense, but they've managed to wrap the complexity in their installer, with some success.
