Who in this current world wants to create or promote a growing community of free software developers, and chooses SourceForge as a platform instead of GitHub or GitLab?

Not that other alternatives are bad, but let me insist: especially if the intent is to attract more developers, GitHub has been THE choice already for several years.

Isn’t SourceForge synonymous with aggressive and intrusive advertisements all over the site and didn’t they get in trouble for inserting adware and spyware into projects’ binary downloads?

They did wrap installers in malware but have stopped now. Regardless, the site is very poorly designed and makes for a bad developer and user experience. To users and potential contributors, using SourceForge is synonymous with not caring.

I've registered a custom domain, which will be our primary user-facing point of contact. Developers use SF essentially purely as a Mercurial host; everything else is run over eMail.

Problem with those two is the first three letters. I'm fine with Bitbucket but decided against it in the near-term. Long-term, we'll probably move toward it.
