That's it. Back in the day that's what was great about source forge. Now it's github. Many people already have an account there so you significantly lower the bar for people to get involved with patches, bug reports etc.

If a project has self hosted infra and wants me to sign up to their Bugzilla I think twice before doing so.

And if github really turns to shit because Microsoft shows their true evil face you can just move platforms again.

Check out

https://gitlab.kitware.com/users/sign_in

or

https://gitlab.xiph.org/users/sign_in

You can sign up with your GitHub account.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/users/sign_in even allows you to login with a GitLab account. Which ironically isn't possible on these other two.
