I dont understand why it's important to say that humans do the approval.

It seems very simple :
- there's requirements for a project to be hosted on savannah, all of 
them are listed in the page of the registration
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
- we hope that people registering taking account of the requirements
- we check if it is the case, if they havent missed something (errare 
humanum est)

I've written this :
« Just a comment (this has nothing to do with the registration process) 
: you should think about an internationalized name, that would make it 
easier for users to understand.
You can use spanish (why not ?) but I think it should be a simpler 
name. »

Should I consider you as a liar :)  ?

You can send a bug report.

This language requirement doesn't exist , nobody have said something 
like this.
The other « requirement » (troncated name) seems to be a bug.
