Projects remain "pending" until the administrator changes their status in the
administration page (site-url/admin/ ). Only users with an "administrator"
flag can access that page and activate projects (they will also see an
administration menu in the left-side bar).

You have to give "site administrator" privileges to a user. For example, if
you have already registered a user called "admin", do the following:
   mysql sourceforge
   mysql> select user_id from user where user_name='admin';
   mysql> insert into user_group (user_id, group_id, admin_flags)
           values (X, 1, 'A');
Where X, is the user_id number obtained in the select command.

Read Guillaume Morim's SourceForge installation guide for more details.
