Yes, accessing a bzr repository via http produces extremely much network
traffic.

Oh, that must be really awful.

Yes, it's planned to switch the Emacs repository to a smart server using
ssh access.  See the following tickets on savannah and the discussion:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107077

But the latest traffic seems to be in March, so I have no clue about the
current status...

Bye,
