As I understand it, one criterion used by the Alioth admins when deciding whether a project is accepted on Alioth is that it is already being worked on by multiple people.

You would do well to use one (or more) of the current best Distributed VCS (DVCS) systems: Bazaar, Git, Mercurial. Bazaar <URL:http://bazaar.canonical.com/>, in particular, has excellent support for many different storage systems, including remote SFTP. That way, you don't need a specific VCS server program; you just need some online storage space somewhere. For a Subversion refugee, I recommend Bazaar in particular since it can operate in a centralised manner when that makes sense, and its command interface is very familiar to Subversion users. -- \ “The double standard that exempts religious activities from | `\ almost all standards of accountability should be dismantled | _o__) once and for all.” —Daniel Dennett, 2010-01-12 | Ben Finney
