Our experience is that Github currently has an excellent product for open
source initiatives; many projects have migrated from SourceForge to
Github. Also, Github uses primarily Git SCM; SourceForge, although
supporting Git, uses primarily the now slightly dated Subversion SCM
system.

In terms of popularity, Github hosts 88x as many projects as SourceForge,
and claims 4x as many users (though I find these numbers a bit suspect).
Github, also, offers website hosting as a part of the repository, easy to
update with Markdown, with a lot of tooling built around it.

We (Objective Pathology Services) would be happy to help with hosting
libtiff. We currently use BigTIFF for extremely large digital pathology
files, and are about to release an open format specification for a
web-friendly variation of TIFF designed for online zoomable images. We own
TIFF.photo, and TIFF.rocks, and would be happy to allocate these to
libtiff, perhaps tiff.photo for specifications and tiff.rocks for format
promotion (that=B9s exactly our plan for our sub-format also). Shame that
tiff.info is taken. We would absorb costs for the Github account, and the
two domain registry costs, and handle DNS, as a donation to the community.
If this is of interest, I suggest that a short contract be in place to
ensure continuity of the domains should unforseen events occur.

If not of interest, it appears that libtiff.cloud, libtiff.rocks, tiff.one
are available; not much else of direct relevance that I can see. Or, a
simple Github (or other repository) account might suffice all on its own.
