Hi Gavin,

I wanted to write back just to quickly confirm that this was discussed with
FSF staff.  Per my understanding, I believe others of the Savannah Hackers
are planning to weigh in on this discussion as well.  (If that happens in
another thread/ticket I'll be sure to CC you if I spot you in the
copy-trail.)

I also plan to make another reply myself to clarify my own position
(granted, as the newest member of the team), in brief: that this
notification is above and beyond the plain requirements of hosting an AGPL
program and should be either removed/rolled-back or else perhaps we could
consider setting the QUIET flag en-mass.

Meanwhile, as the team works to invite discussion and socialize a
consensus, I think Ineiv has already provided instruction for turning this
off within the Savannah web interface. Don't hesitate to reach out if you
have any trouble with that or other thoughts you may have.

Thanks again for writing.
Corwin
