There are a couple of other options for hosting that fall under the GNU
umbrella:
https://savannah.gnu.org/ - but these servers are in the US as far as I
can tell
https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/ - A version of Savannah that's run in the
Ukraine
Not part of GNU, but listed on The Savannah site as an alternative:
https://www.tuxfamily.org/ - I'm unable to determine exactly where the
servers are for this, but their sponsors appear to be French and their
CIDR block for the main website is also French. They offer website and
mailing list support under a provided domain, as well as Mercurial hosting.
Even if you decide to keep running on the existing hardware, my offer to
help with any administration tasks is still open.
Cheers,
Derek

Hello,
I noticed on the website that the site, email, etc, are running on older
hardware and that a single person is maintaining the site. I would like to
volunteer to help in whatever capacity I can to maintain the site, etc. I
used to be the webmaster for gnu.org, and I've been doing Sysadmin work on
Linux for many years.
Also, since you're running on older hardware, I was wondering if you would
consider applying for OSS credits with AWS to run on newer instances there:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-credits-open-source-projects/
I can help with forms, etc, if you'd like.
Thanks for the offer to help.
Unfortunately, there are several reasons why we will not consider
running the GMP site on AWS. One is that the GNU project strongly
believe in Free Software and that your infrastructure should adhere to
that principle.
Also, it is not clear to me that relying on "the cloud" under US
jurisdiction is any more secure than running it in Europe. The laws of
the US and the US government's practice is a major menace to anything
which runs there. We have privacy invading laws here too, but the
situation is much less bad here.
Third, I think any company which for example does not allow its
minimum-paid workers proper breaks for going to the bathroom is too
horrible to do business with.
