I would be interested to hear what percentage of GForge features see  
any kind of widespread use.  I know some use them all, but I suspect  
quite a few do not.  I feel GForge has a pretty clumsy interface that  
detracts a lot from what it provides and probably encourages users to  
avoid some hassle.  I admit that I'm guessing though.

Has the RAA been migrated anywhere?

I'm not trying to disagree with you.  I just don't see these issues as  
being so critical as you do.  Projects are migrating to Github in  
pretty big numbers now.  Obviously some are OK with the feature  
differences and aren't too worried about migrating content.
