More precisely, because some developers don't want to allow the FSF to
relicense their work under arbitrary terms and conditions (no one
currently knows what GPLv3, or v4, v5, ..., vN, will look like!).

IIUC, Alioth is reserved for projects that are either started by a DD or
closely related to Debian.
I don't think markonvert (my project) qualifies (I'm certainly not a
DD).
TuxFamily is instead rather promising, as I already stated.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
When you say "distributed RCS", are thinking about distributed
versioning systems such as Bazaar[1] or GNU Arch?
Doesn't they need at least one networked machine to make patchsets (or
the like) available to the public?
Could you elaborate a bit more?
