Lisa Maginnis, the FSF system administrator, got in touch today, and has
said she will grant shell access to h-node.org to both Luis and myself.
Once this has been done, I want to focus on updating h-node and
permissions for others to help with issue tracking etc.

I've got no idea what to expect - the h-node website states that it uses
SVN-387 (which is over three years old). There have been updates since
then, so this can't strictly-speaking be correct. If the website is
actually based on SVN-387  but has had other changes pushed separately,
that's going to make things interesting to sort out.

It also makes sense to start tagging releases on Savannah. At the moment
there are just hundreds of commits to trunk, with no branches, and no
releases tagged.
