The guidelines I'm familiar with is that "or-later" is required for
all projects hosted on Savannah. Project which are "GPL N only" are
not accepted (at least since August 2014, when I joined).
This is mentioned on this page:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly/
"Use a license compatible with the GNU GPL, and use the "or any later
version" formulation in your license notices."
And detailed here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/GnuGplTwoOrLater/
We point to these pages when asking the submitter to amend their
project's license.
Does this answer your concern ?
regards,
