i have been wondering myself about the savannah workflow - the only
documentation i see about this indicates that you need full write access
to contribute via git

what i have found it that although savannah supports git VCS, it does
not seem to support any facets of modern git workflow such as forking,
merge requests, peer review - i think it is expected that patches be
sent to the mailing list, which is like the tail wagging the dog if the
upstream repo is in git

unless i am wrong about that, my suggestion would be for unofficial
contributors to ignore savannah altogether as it does not seem to serve
new contributors at all - the most practical and convenient workflow for
everyone would be to put your fork on another host such as pagure or
notabug and simply post a link to your fork on the mailing list so that
anyone who is interested can check it out
