Hello Alessandro,

It is against policy to remove source code from the Savannah repositories. 
With GNU being all about free(dom) software I hope you understand this. 
Savannah is a library of free software source code.  Like any other library we
have a responsibility to curate it.  This is the same policy as other
free(dom) software repositories.

The recommendation is for project owners submit a news item for the Savannah
project with the information that the project has moved to the new location. 
If you feel you need to remove the project source code the recommendation is
to do a version control commit where they remove all of the files and replace
them with an updated README file that says the project has been moved to
github.  That way the code as it existed at the last point it was hosted on
Savannah still remains available in the version history for any one to look at
it if they so desire.  In the README file you can provide links from to the
new project location.  That way no one who looks at the Savannah repository
will be confused about where things are now located.  It also helps search
engines locate your new project because it will be linked to from the old
project.

Bob
