I don't know what the original reasoning was, but I think the arguments
/now/ would be that:
* sourceforge no longer uses postgresql as their dbms, so we should try
to avoid using their services and use a service that will reflect better
on the postgresql community.
* savannah's current ties to GNU might make it difficult for us to work
smoothly within their framework (since postgresql is bsd licensed to
start with).
I'm not going to argue that those are convincing arguments (though they
are for some) but I do think it is nice to have a central repository for
postgresql related projects, especially one that the community has some
control over. If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick gforge :-)
