As a module developer and avid SourceForge user, I agree completely.
As a module developer who is currently in that "hiatus" stage, I can
also mention that not always are there people ready to step in and
help out keeping the modules current with bug reports :-(

As Dave R. mentions, who hosts the bug list isn't so important
(esp. if one is crappy ;).  rt.cpan.org is particularly good for Perl
module writers since its focus is on Perl and is hooked into CPAN
search.
