 Great, thanks! I could clone it without any problems and everything looks
good so far. If no problems arise in the near future, I'm going to
transplant my existing branches to this repository and then will probably 
recreate the GitHub repository, replacing the existing contents (and PRs)
with the new one (and recreating the PRs manually, which is why I'm not
sure if I should recreating the existing repository or just create a new
mirror on GitHub for new PRs but leave the existing ones as they're).

 I have no idea why does Savannah provide both cgit and gitweb when they
are so similar, but I guess more choice is always good...

 FWIW I tried cloning both and using git:// was noticeably (~20%) than
using ssh:// protocol.

 It looks like there have been no notification emails as more than 30
minutes have passed and there is still nothing in the archive (at
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lmi-commits/). It might mean that the
hook is configured to not send emails for a number of commits greater than
some threshold or it might mean that it's not configured at all...

 Yes, you'll need to ask Savannah admins to set this up as you must have
access to the repository on the server, as you've already discovered.
