Well, they *do*, technically, it's just that the project has been
unmaintained since 2001:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria-dev/

But of course there is now more than one open source fork of the
original system available (Gforge, Savannah).

I think that the only OSTG site that continues to maintain and release
on an ongoing basis the current version of the code that they are
running is Slashdot:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/slashcode/

Is this enough to get SourceForge / OSTG / VA Software a pass?
