I am smelling gasoline in this thread.
Richard:
If you want people to host their free software at somewhere other than Github
can you list a few options that have the same level of quality of service as
Github? Savannah as of now cannot provide the required level of service - our
Email requests of creating a few repositories are left in the cold for weeks.
There is a package called GitBucket that packs (almost) all Github features and
quality of service. It is free software, can be hosted standalone, and I don’t
think Savannah team will have any problem maintaining an instance (which takes
absolutely zero effort).
