What sort of traffic do reasonably popular open source projects see? And what sort of costs would be involved for self hosting?

I think the point here is "reasonably popular", which project would you place here ?

The costs are directly proportional to the traffic but nowadays most "reasonable popular" open source projects can get hardware (VMs) from hosting companies for free.
