I now have a gitlab instance up and running, hosted by Oregan State 
University Open Source Labs.

I'm currently using it for the GUI port, but I set it up specifically to 
migrate away from Sourceforge (as well as not having
to rely on yet another commercial service with the same business model).

Support was nice enough to help me set up a cert for logging in over 
https.  That's just a stop-gap-- something like
git.puredata.info or gitlab.puredata.info would be preferable. (That 
would require an additional cert for the subdomain,
something which startssl doesn't allow.  But once EFF's "Let's Encrypt" 
project ships we can get additional certs trivially.)

If anyone wants to play around with it, PM me and I'll send a link.
