Well, there is movement in there, where we'll explore the technical
tools that Savannah might provide us with and see where we might want to
take our infrastructure based on that.  I suppose it's more efficient to
stall discussion until we actually know which options are feasible using
which hosters as I think it desirable to stay close with Savannah where
feasible.

LilyPond is not a _core_ GNU project like GCC or Emacs where copyright
assignments are required for every contribution in order to provide a
court-strong defensible position in the hand of the FSF regarding its
copyright.  If it were, pressing the necessity for a strong defensible
toolchain and hosting in the hand of the FSF would be easier.

But still, I think that we can make a reasonably good case for Savannah
to consider trying new things if that proves desirable.
