Sylvain or Karl can explain much better, but here's my take:

1) Mapping of the web repositories.  GNU projects are mapped to 
   gnu.org/software/package while non-GNU to nongnu.org/package.

2) It is very helpful to select the group of all GNU packages, for 
   example if you want to review them and see if you can contribute.

3) I suspect there are gazillion of other differences in the way 
   Savannah handles the two groups (actually, there are more groups), 
   like mailing lists, etc.

I don't think so.
