we should move the code to GitHub or GitLab, there appears to be a JForum organization on GitHub already. The reason behind this is because git is easier to work with and both have an issue tracker that we can make use of.
perhaps we should move the forums to the jforum.net domain? That could be a good idea, and we could also setup some type of extensions site: ex community.jforum.net and extensions.jforum.net

Personally, I'm more interested in features than in the underlying technology, so a project that aims to rebuild everything from scratch with a new tech stack would appeal to me only if it was the basis for a major leap in functionality. Do you have any thoughts on that?
