For one, I'd be willing to spend the time and dedication to be maintainer of 
the 
package.

I think putting the code on GNU machines is a good idea, and for the last few 
months 
I have been looking at supporting GNU Arch on Savannah, but there are still some
security issues to work out with this before it could be fully implemented.  
That 
said, we could have a project on Savannah for this, that could be used for 
putting 
the webpage on the www.gnu.org webserver, to start with.

In the ideal situation, it would be nice to have another machine for Savannah, 
so we 
could work on implementing services like GNU Arch, and perhaps other 
experimental 
services.  But I'm not really pushing for another machine, though it would be 
nice. 
I could put Arch on Savannah ASAP, given the understanding that it would be 
offered 
via sftp and that those with project access would be able to modify the 
repository's 
changesets.
