SourceForge has good project management tools, from bug reporting, mailing
lists (though I prefer newsgroups), to project website, to repository. Git
is clearly my choice due to the distributed development model, huge
features set, and it simply fits my way of working better.

As for what I think is a very good workflow and management of a project is
the following (taken from the git project itself):

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitworkflows.html

I think the graduation of features is the important part. Promoting the
idea of pulling branch directly from somebody else should be common
practice, but so too is the "development branch" where various features
branches get merged together giving everybody a easy place to test
something new.

Anyway, the URL above describes all I have to say on this topic.
