I'll be blunt, basically the intention was to say you should use
google for these kind of questions, the options are really obvious if
you have read the instructions in the gentoo wiki, and don't go to
Distrowatch when trying to find instructions to install gentoo(why
would you do that?).

you don't need to avoid it because you don't really need it, it might
seem anyoing to you because you have been down stream, maintaners have
gone for you to sourceforge.net to get the source code and make
packages, unless you want to package something you don't need to go to
sourceforge, except for upstream documentation maybe if the only place
where is available is there.
