It's great this is still going, I should probably give it a go - I used to use pidgin for quite a few years.
I wonder why in the age of github and gitlab some opensource projects still use SourceForge
Because moving stuff takes time and with a small project like this who is going to setup the infrastructure for that?
Also SourceForge supports version control that isn’t git.
Pidgin has actually moved their source code to Mercurial so is using Sourceforge for binary releases.
