Thank you Jeremy for your suggestion.
I know SourceForge.net quite well because Sweet Home 3D, one of my  
Open Source project is hosted there at http://sweethome3d.sourceforge.net

But I don't earn money on this project through SourceForge.net, and  
really wonder if some projects got enough donations for their living.

Best regards
