Do I have access to servent.gnu.org? By which mean?

If we want savannah.gnu.org to rejects attemps on non-gnu project, it
will complicates the deal, since it means that pserver alors need
informations about which project is gnu and which one is not.

Before, there is much work to do on sv_cvs to make sure everything work as
expected. After this, we will need to separate each part of sv_cvs in
perl subs, in perls modules for savannah (sv_cvs contains in fact most
of the importants subs about savannah database <-> subversion
configuration)... And after, it should be easier to list which project
are part of what.

But if allowing anonymous CVS access via savannah.gnu.org +
savannah.nongnu.org  is not a so complicated task, we should do it
directly.
