I think it was Socrates said something about "code > words":
I'm using github for the nw.js port atm, too. But I see way less potential for future shenanigans from a non-commercial host with a long track record.
Also-- if you look at the Gimp/Sourceforge story, Gimp had been offering Windows binaries from a site outside of Sourceforge for a long time. What Sourceforge did was to bundle their old binaries with malware. Sourceforge claimed the site had been "abandoned" by the Gimp devs, as if that is an excuse for the bundling.

So unfortunately we have to keep an eye on the Sourceforge Pd repo for the foreseeable future. That's why I suggested "capping the well", so to speak, by releasing a non-functional binary once everything is available and maintainable from a different host.
