Yes.  I suggested the latest day for this should be 10 Aug 2015.  That's 2 
weeks before GoogleCode goes read-only.  If we are ready earlier so much the 
better, but that depends on how long it takes to re-develop git-cl and patchy.  
And before that can start we need agreement on where we are going.  AFAIK using 
Allura at SourceForge is currently the only viable option on the table.  I'm 
not investigating any other options.  Is any one else?

I've quickly looked at Allura's API.  It seems to contain all the features we 
would need.  I've also looked at git-cl, but unpicking that is someway outside 
my comfort zone.  It's built around code obtained from Google.  I don't plan to 
work on git-cl's conversion, so we need some other volunteer to do that.  Any 
takers?  I've not even looked at patchy.
