Thanks for stepping up, Federico!  That's one of the uncertainties removed.

And it seems no one is suggesting using anything other than Allura, which is
available and open-source.  Another decision made, I think.

The two replies from Savannah clearly say there is no support there for
migrating to Allura, but both suggest a virtual server might be made available
for LilyPond, without giving a definite commitment.  Reading between the lines
I think they would welcome someone else, ie LP, installing and running Allura
with a view to their offering it to others once it was up and running.

The next step is to decide our preference: do we want to take on the
commitment to maintain Allura ourselves or use the maintained version at
SourceForge.  Which would we prefer?  (FWIW my preference would be
to run Allura at Savannah as our primary DB, with a backup being maintained 
at SF, which I would be happy to do on a monthly basis.)
