Hmm.  How does the development of Savannah's bug tracking system work,
then?

Thanks!

Definitely.  For patches, the natural way on github is to clone a
project's repository, adding your changes, then submitting a pull
request.  This workflow is admittedly superior to submitting a patch
in many situations, especially if communication doesn't happen within
e-mail lists.  However, for quickly providing data files this is not
the right way IMHO, and I don't understand why the github people don't
implement that.

Why not?  Limiting to a small set of image formats supported by most
browsers seems sensible to me.

Beuc is the adminstrator there, and he is also a Savannah
adminstrator, AFAIK.  Perhaps you should do a ping.
