"forge" has been used since "sourceforge" if not longer to describe these kind of hosting-packages.
I guess technically you could have called Redmine, and other systems at the time, forges I think the term took off after that.
The only time I ever see Sourceforge mentioned is in advertisements on /.. I think most young developers today have no idea what it is, if they even know what /. is.
Young developers are still learning the ropes :)
And they have absolutely no reason to know what Sourceforge is.

I used to use libraries that were hosted on sourceforge and I did not get the connection.
You can’t even rely on young devs to get Monty Python jokes anymore. Referring to a website that went away when jr devs were ten is a bad plan.
You’re old, dudes.
