Google code has project feeds in Atom, too.

I think the old discussion was looking more for a way to host code
snippets as opposed to version controlled projects, which I agree that
GitHub and the like already do nicely. Would we really need more than a
code4lib.pastebin.com? That being said, a code planet would be really
cool. I know that GitHub and BitBucket publish ATOM feeds of a user's
activity but I'm not so sure about other code hosting sites.
Anyways, just a thought...
