fyi - The code changes above appear to still be resulting in sf.net errors, or at least the `unixcw' package still reports Watch errors.

I contacted SourceForce support via email, per info on their contact web page.
Expect an update to this bug with status as I hear more, or in about a week.

Hello sfnet_ops --
I am Fede Grau, contacting you on behalf of the Debian community. We are
seeking support from SourceForge Ops with recent RSS feed rate limit changes.
In particular if an "IP exception" may be created for Debian "watch" checks
for package updates.
Reviewing the SourceForge Support Documentation we see there is now an RSS
feed rate limit of "one hit per feed per 30 minutes". Unfortunately this is
adversely affecting the Debian "watch" checks for updates of Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS) packages hosted at SourceForge. The Debian project is
tracking this issue with Bug #1033632 .
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/RSS/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033632
As noted above, we're checking if an IP exception may be created for RSS feed
checks for the Debian project. The qa.debian.org host performing the "watch"
checks very rarely changes IP address and is in the Debian IP range of:
x.x.x.x/x . Feedback or questions are welcome. Thanks for your
assistance.
I happen to be one of the package maintainers for the `unixcw' FOSS package
hosted at SourceForge, which has been affected by these RSS limits.
