No, it is not.  I gave up on SourceForge when they changed their terms
and conditions to allow them to sell members' details to advertising
agencies.  I got most of the site over to savannah at
https://www.nongnu.org/cc-mode, but got interrupted before I could get
the mailing list transferred.  I also failed to make any announcement on
the list (bug-cc-mode@gnu.org).  I need to do both of these things,
still.

The repository being maintained is at
http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/cc-mode, or with a savannah user name,
ssh://USERNAME@hg.savannah.nongnu.org/cc-mode.

See above.
