If we do make a move over to sf, then we could move svn over there,  
therefore releasing a server for the main map viewing facilities.  
Such as allowing an extra proxy server or layer to be added.

Someone else has already mentioned auto update of JOSM and plugins. I  
would take a look at jEdit [1] and see if we can use their update  
mechanism or a variation of it. They have a full plugin management  
window in the source code editor app. The plugin manager downloads  
the plugins internally from the sourceforge mirrors. I have checked  
the licenses [2][3], and they are both using the same GNU GPL, which  
means they are license compatible.

There is also web space there available, though it is limited, so it  
might be of some use for things, such as basic project information,  
or it could be simply redirect to our wiki.
