To find out, I went fishing in the savannah-hackers mailing list archives. Here's what I found:

• In addition to the mailing list tag "[Savannah-hackers]", almost every subject refers to Savannah, savannah.gnu.org, savannah.nongnu.org, etc. In addition, most of the thread names seem to be vague descriptions of problems people have with Savannah. This makes it somewhat hard to read.
• Submissions of new projects are, of course, sent to this mailing list. The most eye-catching was called ShpxZG (ROT-13 to see), "to raise awareness about the weakness of popular blogging software MovableType". Unfortunately, as I recall, MT is non-free software, and therefore their MT spamming script is dependent on non-free software, which means it doesn't meet Savannah guidelines. Oh well.
• Not helping matters in point 1, bkuhn posted about "Savannah situation". He apologized about not including the Savannah hackers more in the recovery process (you know what I mean). Mathieu Roy was still unhappy.
• Before February, Mathieu Roy was the most frequent poster. Now, it seems to be Rudy Gevaert
• Gna! has a `savane-dev' archive going back to 2001. But it's really the savannah-dev archive. Not sure what to make of that.

Ok, I have no instinct for web searches. See this: "At a given time only one person can be in charge of approving or rejecting projects submitted to Savannah. The /admin/ interface is not fit for concurrent access. The user assigned to this task is the one in charge. It is his responsibility to find someone else before leaving :-)".

It's an open task. Happy hacking!
