The GNU project made a decision a while ago that we would not officially
and publicly accept non-GNU software on savannah until one problem was
fixed. That problem is as follows:
Right now, the URLs "savannah.gnu.org" and "freesoftware.fsf.org" both
work. In fact, freesoftware.fsf.org rewrites to savannah.gnu.org.
Consider
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/projects/xmlnotes/
that rewrites to
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xmlnotes/
This causes major confusion. It looks like xmlnotes is part of the GNU
project.
As soon as you can fix it that savannah.gnu.org URLs don't work for
non-GNU packages, then we can officially and formally begin accepting
non-GNU programs on savannah.
Until then, the official stance is that is for GNU only.
