Apart from migration 'to git' taking 3 months and not being done
right...
Pull requests are a pain at Savannah. They have a patches section
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?8217) to submit proposed changes
without creating a fork-which-takes-ages-to-manually-approve, but it
does not allow inline comments on the diff.

A freedom-respecting way to link a user to software which is only found
on github is by providing them with a tarball or a working git mirror.
Such mirror, while respecting the user's freedoms, may be less
convenient.

I would be glad to have an official response from FSF about this as well
so I will perhaps forward a link to this thread to address@hidden .

It is a fork only if it is different contents than the other copy.
