Re: [Savannah-hackers] Re: Savannah Projects Approval

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

Note that we do not accept GNU projects directly. First, they are 
non-GNU (if they comply with Savannah's policies), then we tell the GNU 
evaluation team about it by using the link in group management (we have 
to schedule a test of that feature), and we will change the project 
type once the GNU evaluation team has accepted the project as GNU.

Also, we have a FAQ for "what is the advantage to me of making my 
software GNU software?":
http://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?question=What_does_it_mean_to_become_a_GNU_package.txt

The link you provided, iirc, does not provide such information.
