Are there sites hosting fossil repositories?

A given source-code management system is most useful to the developer community if there are good quality providers of repository hosting, and for open-source development it essential that this hosting is free and unencumbered. All the well-established version control systems have such providers, generally offering free provision of world-readable repositories and paid subscriptions for private repository hosting. For example:

  • Git has the Microsoft-backed Github; additionally Gitlab provides not only rival hosting, but also makes the core implementation of its service available on an open-source basis
  • Bazaar has Launchpad
  • Mercurial has Bitbucket

Are there similar providers allowing Fossil repositories to be hosted for free?

It seems Fossil is available on Sourceforge:
http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fossil/wiki

Though it's not clear if this is an official installation. It's within SF.net allowance to host custom CGI scripts, but a admin maintained installation would be nicer.

Even though setting up a Sourceforge entry is probably overkill for small projects (what Fossil targets), this seems a sensible project hosting option. If Fossil is not officially supported, we should lobby for it to become that. Most likely BerliOS would adopt it, too.
