After you mentioned this, I reported two issues yesterday:

* forge not indexed by Google
   http://forge.typo3.org/issues/26980
   Probably because the UA filter you mentioned

* robots.txt disallow indexing
   http://forge.typo3.org/issues/26981
   This disallows indexing of the issue trackers. So nobody will find 
TYPO3 bugs *yeah*

I suppose it's from the times, when bots indexed forge and made it 
really slow. Wget access is also disallowed. This really has to be changed.

Kind regards
Steffen
