Sourceware.org has long hosted the
repositories for many important free-software projects, including much of
the GNU toolchain. Frank Ch. Eigler has posted
about some changes coming to Sourceware:

Red Hat has been and continues to be a generous sponsor of the
hardware, connectivity, and the very modest employee time it
requires. We are glad to report there are zero indications of any
change to this commitment. Things are stable, new services are
coming online, and users seem to be happy. However, it is always
good to think about any future needs.

To protect confidence in the long term future of this hosting
service, we have reached out to the Software Freedom Conservancy
(SFC) to function as a “fiscal sponsor”.
