We were going to use bzr anyway. I suspect there will be more VCS 
support in the future.

Pmwiki has only basic users support and (AFAIK) no groups. Worst case 
scenario is that everyone has to recreate a user account. No biggie.

This is probably true, although I think there's a lot of interest and 
this will improve rapidly.

Translation tools are more interesting for upstream projects than for 
distros.

I haven't used both much, but my experiences so far have been better 
with LP than with Savannah.

I'm not saying that one is better than the other. It's just that the 
Savannah point of view is not necessarily the gNS point of view.
