It has beta support; you have to ask beuc to enable it on your project.
Matt Lee reports Gnash is very happy with it, and he will be using it
for his Libre.fm project shortly.

From my perspective the FSF hosts both savannah and gnewsense, so there
isn't much difference (eg if something goes so wrong you can't access
the machine, someone from the FSF will be dealing with that); and of
course using bzr we could just set up a cron job on *.gnewsense.org to
create a clone of the repo on a regular basis (and any developers /
users could do the same on machines they own).

From the autonomy perspective I and a few others are working on
http://code.autonomo.us , but that's relatively far from being usable as
a entire project hosting service.
