You are quite correct that, currently, we have no web UX for this.

Instructions for volunteers to manually setup additional repositories
for projects are here:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/Git/

You might be interested in setting up a local instance to play with on
your own.  Bob recently updated the instructions for this and,
speaking for myself, they seem to work perfectly!

Finally, I can't help but add: is joining the Savannah Hackers
something you might be interested in?  A good place to catch at least
some of us is #savannah on libera.chat IRC, if that is something you
might be interested in, by way of further discussion/questions you
might have, etc.  Here's the general info on that:

Yes, and yes - just to be clear.  The very type of volunteer work I
might be leading you into here, in fact.  Or perhaps creating a
superuser only page for us to enable that?  Or any of a number of
other things, to be sure.  Not every Savannah Hacker works on all the
things (in fact, probably nobody works on literally all the different
types of things we might be called on to look into).

Warm regards,
Corwin
