I've only used CodePlex as a consumer (Gardens Point Component Pascal) so I
can't comment on how it compares with github or Google Code. However, the
data here might help us make an informed objective decision:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_software_hosting_faci
lities

Once our requirements of such a system have been agreed upon, we might be
able to make of use the data here to determine the most suitable (or at
least to narrow down the choices),
