Thank you for that information.

I believe we are required to continue using a savannah or a gitlab

We have a mirror on github now. Once we are on Savannah it will be
bidirectional.  We can call Savannah the master if that satisfies the FSF
political agenda.  Additionally, the whole point of the previous discussion
was to underscore the point that we can commit from either place.

Using Savannah is untenable due to its shortcomings as previously described
in this thread.

I have seen nothing from RMS saying we can't mention where we are mirrored
in GNUstep docs.  If we did I would be shocked as this would restrict
access to free software.    I would like to hear directly from him on this
subject.

Another option is for us to consider this a fork.  It would simplify a
number of things for us if that were the case.
