The whole point of tool discussion in an open source project should be 
what tools make it easiest for the community as a whole to contribute, 
collaborate and participate in the project.

When you look at the massive success of forges such as Launchpad and 
SourceForge that didn't happen accidentally.  It happened because these 
forges are extremely good at providing all of the infrastructure, 
collaboration tools, tracking tools, and source code management tools 
for an open source project.

To try and duplicate this type of free services using your own hardware, 
software, and infrastructure is just not possible.  Why go back and use 
'bone knives and bearskins' with your own infrastructure and waste 
countless valuable hours reinventing the wheel when you can have all 
this handed to you on a silver platter for free?  I think this is why 
hundreds of thousands of projects are using the forges and spending 
their time thinking about their projects instead of all the necessities 
of supporting an infrastructure.
