You find out the user's name in Savannah (in this case kuzman); you then
follow: http://savannah.gnu.org/usrrs/kuzman
and you will see his projects in Savannha, among which is java-gnome

To see the history of the java-gnome project on Savannah, one must have
authorization to enter http://savannah.gnu.org/admin/ and search for the
project. Savannah's records show that it was approved on July 19th and kuzman
updated the project's info on July 31st (he has not done anything else on it
since then).

In the savannah-hackers list I don't see a copy of a message sent to gnueval
asking for java-gnome to be evaluated, which means that the request was not
sent. Something went wrong; either a forgotten click in the savannah admin
interface, or an e-mail message to kuzman that got lost. Sorry about that;
I've just sent in the evaluation request to address@hidden
