 I checked the archives. All savannah-hackers were involved + Bradley
Kuhn + Nic Ferrier + Hugo Gayosso and probably others too.

freesoftware.fsf.org is the best suggestion I've seen so far.
It gets across the most important points.

 I recall that another mail from you stated clearly that freesoftware.fsf.org
should be used but I can't find it. Let's say my memory is bad.

        It does not work. Only freesoftware.fsf.org works.

        Ok. We should decide for a cannonical name, though. I'd rather use
non-gnu.fsf.org as a cannonical name since it's shorter. Other names can be
added but for the sake of consistency in naming within savannah I'd rather
like to use only one name.

        True. We did progress reports on address@hidden only. I will
cc: you from now on.
