As far as I know, since each repository is in a chroot'd environment,  
sending e-mail is more difficult and does not work out of the box.

Some work was done to support log_accum. However, we did not had  
feedback, so we will ask again whether log_accum support is completed  
and usable.

Savannah is a FSF service, currently installed on a FSF machine, and 2  
FSF system administrators work on it at partial time. So any donation  
or membership that helps the FSF also helps Savannah indirectly.

Gna! is sponsored by FSF France, that is not part of FSF Europe anymore  
(first sensitive topic).
Gna! is ran by former Savannah hackers after disrespect from the FSF,  
to keep it short (second sensitive topic).

That being said, projects approval policies are compatible, both team  
know each other, we are friends, and independant. Also, people from  
each team work on the Savane software. We sometimes recommend Gna! to  
people on this list.

Gna! asked to be mentioned at Savannah.gnu.org, and waits for an  
official decision from the FSF Board of Directors.
