(N.B. The Savannah URLs look a little too cgit-specific to trust

get the www.gnu.org admins to make /software/???/config.{guess,sub}
redirect to these URLs, just for a little extra future-proofing?)
I would agree that getting some stable redirects would be nice; archaic versions of config.guess instruct users to update from Savannah CVS or the main GNU release server.

Logically, the redirects would be at www.gnu.org/software/config/config.{guess,sub} and would point to Savannah cgit for now.

Yeah, those paths look good.  Do you have any idea who to talk to to
make that happen?  Autoconf has a CVS repo that maps to the contents
of www.gnu.org/software/autoconf, but I don't know if there's any
equivalent for config.

I would suggest contacting webmaster@gnu.org for that.
