Is there any interest in a SourceForge.org API / CLI ?
Since there is no official API (afaict) creating such an interface
requires the use web-scripting/scraping. Has any one implemented any
portions of such an API ?

There may be. TeamForge (a renaming of SourceForge Enterprise Edition)
has an API; see
Page not found .
It is not clear to me whether sourceforge.net is running this version of
the software, though.

Do SF’s terms even permit scraping?

Me either. I don’t get the feeling it is.

Good question. However the scraping part would be quite minimal.
Mostly its just sending http requests.
BTW, I rediscovered MetaProject (was Xforge). It implements some of
this, though development stalled in '06 – I think maybe the project
got a little too ambitious for it’s own good. I’m thinking of
extracting the Xforge/SourceFoge portions of the code a making a new
project… If there is any interest.
