SF goes down way too often.  SF is /unsuable/ way too often.  IMHO
using them for downloads is okay, but anything else is just too painful.
I've tried.

We have bugzilla..  We just need to use it more.
Once we get SVN we've talked about using Trac to watch the diffs.
Trac also has a patch tracker, so we could use that, too.

But no, I see no reason to use SF more.  We already have our own
CVS/SVN and email servers, and even our own WWW server (even if access
is somewhat restricted).

I can ask.  I know he's been really really busy..  He might be
amenable to some CVS/SVN push into the web server..  I don't know.
