What about hosting the non-GNU "savannah" on an entirely different
machine, perhaps in a different domain name.  That is one of the ideas
that was originally proposed.  Loic, do you now see this as infeasible?


Personally, I still find "non-gnu.fsf.org" as a bit problematic---it looks
like an endorsement by the FSF, even if it's clear that it's not part of
GNU.  I think we'd be better off in a separate domain entirely, and a
separate machine.


Also, I am worried about the strain on the volunteer resources of managing
such a site.  Loic, do you think you'll be able to handle the load
indefinitely?
