How many of those offer any kind of import/export facilities so you
can migrate to/from them?

And for the record, I remain strongly opposed to shutting down
pgFoundry anyway. I have no desire to entrust any of my projects to
third parties over with whom I have no come-back if they lose any of
may data, and I still have no desire to go through the pain of moving
my projects elsewhere and most likely losing a tone of history.
