As far as I remember GitHub and savannah are not automatically synced.
When Cyril started Liberty he created the GitHub repository.
After a while Liberty was labelled as a GNU project, gaining a savannah
account.
When GitHub was bought by Microsoft we agreed to keep the github account
as a backup, as Microsoft had a decennial history of blatant hostility
toward free-as-in-freedom software.
Now I think we can agree on the fact that savannah is not by far as
"modern" and sleek as github; of all github alternatives none are
officially endorsed by FSF.
I used to remember that there were some mechanism keeping savannah and
github in sync, but I suspect it was the goodwill of Raphael...
Shall I setup a sync automatism? I'm not sure about it.
Meanwhile I'll pull github changes into savannah
PS: as a note I have to confess that I could have poured a lot more
effort, as I left Cyril almost alone, also chilling Raphael's
entusiasms... ("mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" Cyril will
understand 😉 ).
