What will this offer that sf.net, codehaus.org, nongnu.org,
savannah.gnu.org, code.google.com, gna.org, belios.de, etc. don’t? Why
not simply link to
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_software_hosting_facilities>
and let people decide which they prefer?

Other people mentioned the sharing of code snippets; a wiki works best
for sharing code snippets, examples, & single file source. See
<http://emacswiki.org/> for a lively example.
