I think you are being paranoid :-) Consider that this same issue applies to all 5900 projects and 38000 developers at SourceForge. VA Linux has a brand identity entirely built on the trust and support of the Linux (and Open Source) communities. If they blow away that trust, they are simply screwed. That said: it would still be a good thing to have export capabilities. I recall that certain portions of the data (the Trove map?) can be exported in XML format. I don't recall the magic URL for that, however.
