I've read the references you pointed to and enjoyed them, but for what it's worth none of them suggested to me that Gitorious is not actually maintained. What I read is that contributors can have trouble getting their work in and that the project looks bad when compared to the pleasure to work with that is Sitaram.

As the author of both those links and a contributor to that ODF, nowhere did we intend to make the claim that Gitorious.org is unmaintained (although admittedly, I've seen fairly visible bugs in the web UI linger on for months at times).

Rather what those documents talk about is that the software as-is didn't live up to our specific needs, that we were unhappy with the state of the development community around it and that we had some architectural concerns. All of which should only matter to you if your requirement set matches ours :).
