Most projects have quite a lot on the table without worrying about hosting all the time. There are bugs you have a hard time fixing or even finding, there are many opinions on how the project should develop (including some real paying customers if you are a successful project), there are people problems in the team. And hosting is something that probably hasn't been touched for years. Maybe the guys who configured it the first time around aren't even on the team any more.

Without big news something so basic is probably not even on the table.
