One thing would be to switch over to http://savannah.gnu.org/
It is very similar to sf.net.

Personally I would not complain going to http://bkbits.net/ and using
bitkeeper. I think it works really well for the kernel. And more or less
anyone doing work on u-boot already use it. There are bk->cvs gateway
for the few who won't for "religious" reasons.
