Do you develop on GitHub? You can keep using GitHub but automatically sync your GitHub releases to SourceForge quickly and easily with this tool so your projects have a backup location, and get your project in front of SourceForge's nearly 20 million monthly users. It takes less than a minute. Get new users downloading your project releases today!
As for IDE I was somewhat successful with IntelliJ Idea and its Lua plugin which seems to be mature enough. You can supply your own autocompletion scripts and docs as well. There's also Lua plugin for Eclipse but that was not versatile enough for my purposes.
