Reasonable.  I recommend quickly archiving most of the top-level
SourceForge page 'News' items on the top page into a /news/
subdirectory page, and replace it with a brief announcement of what
you've said above (with a link to GitHub) - and make this the
main/only content of that top-level page.

For just a few minutes' worth of work, all future searchers get a
clear idea of what's going on (and contributors can find their way to
us more quickly).

That sounds awesome.
