Dirk,
I have not use R-Forge in years, but on the main page
(https://r-forge.r-project.org), just before the blue "Latest News" box,
it shows:
"If you experience any problems or need help you can submit a support
request to the R-Forge team or write an email to [email protected]."
I have copied that e-mail address here. The URL for the support request
form requires a login to R-Forge to access.
Also, there appears to be a top level project associated with the
R-Forge Admins here:
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/site/
with references to the project members in the upper right hand corner.
No activity from the Admins there since December 2020, from what I can
tell...
I encourage anyone still trying to use R-Forge to migrate to GitHub.
I migrated in 2019 after having many problems with changes not
triggering checks and getting messages like, "there is no package called
'Matrix'". There was a discussion on [email protected] in
January and February of this year on how to do that. That thread could
probably help anyone interested in doing this.

(Sorry for posting here but the top-level r-forge page does not make
it all
that clear where to contact its admins.)
When an old-style 'http' URL at r-forge is resolved / redirected to
'https',
it is corrupted and the redirect breaks. That required a package
re-upload
for me a few days ago (as the CRAN url checker is unhappy about a
borked URL)
and you can see it live too e.g. via
https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
and going to 'rcpp-devel archives' where the hover URL is (note 'http')
http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/
which when followed 'naively' drops the / between .org and pipermail and
gets a 404
https://lists.r-forge.r-project.orgpipermail/rcpp-devel/
Reinjecting the missing / helps as
https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/
works fine. This is likely a typo / error in the redirection setup of
the
web server.
I would be very grateful if someone could pass this on to whoever
looks after
r-forge these days.
Best, Dirk
