Globally, or each project manager can do this for his own project (if
the latter, then that would address my major concern with the packages
capabilities).

Mainly because we prefer the traditional mailing lists + CVS approach
like the core server uses. We also have a multilanguage website that
gborg can't do, but then I'm not sure that sf.net can either (for
example).

Probably better people to ask would be Robert or Chris K-L, as they
actively chose sf.net as an alternative to GBorg.

My major concern is the confusion that 2 parallel project sites will
bring, or the chaos that an attempted migration is likely to cause.

I don't see an easy win that won't take significant planning.
