The question is what you intend. If you just want to work on PythonCard 
alone, and have full freedom, than this would be the best for you. But 
if you want to (re)establish an active community of developers as well, 
then it would be wise to stay with a public platform such as SourceForge 
instead of moving to your own resources, because other developers may 
not feel comfortable there and may not like the fragmentation.

As far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) there is no particular 
"project ownership" in SF, but all project administrators (and there are 
  7 of them, who you can contact directly) can add you as project member 
so you can check in the improvements you're talking about. You normally 
don't need to forge a project to revive it.
