You mean you won't use Savane anymore?
Or do you mean to just improve it?

Please don't!
While I'm active at savannah, but for example I have registered my username 
on gna.org just so that nobody could fetch it away, as I've seen it on other 
portals. I think that's a good reason, isn't it?

Maybe, if you have the e-mail adresses, you should at least contact the people
you want to remove.

Apropos, will gna.org also change?
