I addressed my message to savannah-hackers-public in case the problems
I experienced are due to some wider issue with gnu.org machines, not
local to fencepost.  Basically, given that the fsfstatus page seems to
be... ahm... less functional than I'd expect, I consider
savannah-hackers-public to be the closest replacement -- a bunch of
people who have interest in, and some in-depth knowledge of, what is
going on in the gnu.org domains and systems.  I apologize if that was
wrong.
