SourceForge broke its trust contract. Considering the most common
operation from pkgsrc-wip's users is "make install" from a repository
they are hosting, I do have a very big problem with entrusting the
security of my entire computing environment, and that of every
pkgsrc-wip user, to this company ever again.

That is always the case. It's like a new pair of underwear: at first,
it's constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you.
