	I could've phrased that better.  I understand the benefits to running 
the stuff at Savannah, just wondering if the general population thought 
the cost was too high.

	This is actually a pretty good point.  Whatever happened to gnats?  It 
was the bug tracker I used at home for quite a while.  It had pretty 
decent emacs integration, too (not that I use emacs, but I would use it 
just because it was easier to file bugs that way).  There were a 
variety of web interfaces for it, as well.
