[Savannah-hackers-public] A better place for very small projects?

Hi there,

once in a blue moon I come across a project submissions to be approved
which are somewhat smallish. (e.g.
https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?9627 ) 

While I a not saying these weren't useful, I have the feeling that a
full hosting account might be a bit overpowered for such "one-filers".
Often the license text is longer than the code itself.

I also have the impression the authors do not really want to have all 
the burden coming with a full blown account, let alone they want to
maintain or support it. They merely look for some place to show the
world their first program. No offense here, I actually think this is a
good thing. 

But isn't there any other place where we could point these people to
without giving them the impression we just want to get rid of them
because their program isn't considered "worthy" enough? 


Regards
Sebastian
