Many software projects I use are hosted on SourceForge. While SF has been using some nasty techniques with binary installers, the source code is, as far as I know, untouched.

And, as soon as it's touched, the project maintainers can shut down the SourceForge repos and move on to someplace else.

It's not a guarantee of security, privacy or anonymity, but open source is still your best chance to get any (or all) of the three.
