This is interesting. Bug #1 on Ubuntu has since been closed, due to the advent of tablets and smartphones. Also, there exists an ethical repository hosting page on GNU.org, which I’ve never seen before. Yeah, that’s probably because it’s not well linked up with the rest of the page contents.
But yeah, I do agree. We’ve all known long in advance that SourceForge.net and GitHub had their own problems… it’s just that they’re so popular, and if you want to be on the same platform that everyone else is on, that is where you go.
Point in hand: the main problem with self-hosting is the problem of needing to create a million accounts for each self-hosted site.

Caterpillar not doing well financially? Their grand scheme: on their leased equipment, the ability to remotely throttle or shut off the engine when the leaser falls behind in payment. However, this is negligible compared to other things happening with their equipment under resale. From a 2 million dollars to 15 thousand dollars. 1/100 of the original price.
