Gnucap uses savannah.

The point here is not about the project's repositories, but 
about the "forge" ....  a place for packages that are NOT really 
part of the main program but rather are from the user community.  
The people making the packages do not generally have write 
access to the project's repository, rather just to their own, 
which they can create themselves as they want.

We are talking about octave-forge, not about octave's own 
repositories.
