Savane's development is dead. The git logs speak about this clearly.
The bitrotten webpage with dead links say this too.

Savane hasn't had a whole lot of new features added, but it is maintained.
I'm sorry I didn't contact you, but it didn't look like there was
anyone to contact, since (1) the current mailing list sees almost no
activity either (2) the webpages are outdated and have broken links
(3) the git logs are a ghost town, as is the rest of Savane
development.
Ghost town, I just showed you three recent commits?
In addition, there are mailing lists which are active and public, which
you know about. You never bothered writing to any Savane or Savannah
list. You cannot say "this list doesn't seem active, so I'll avoid
mailing it.
Also, you knew you could have emailed me.
So, if it's dead, please don't scare my potential students away. I use
Savannah almost daily, and I think it sucks. I could have fixed it
with a little bit of help, but because someone who isn't maintaining
the project thinks that it shouldn't be fixed in the way that the
current unmaintained web page says it should be maintained.
Nobody scared anyone away. I believe you emailed the student telling
him "the Savannah people think it's worthless".
If you aren't maintaining it, step aside and let someone else do it.
1) Savannah, as an infrastructure, is being maintained. Support
requests are responded to and new projects are reviewed.
2) The Savane codebase is maintained. Patching bugs and adding new
functionality, such as audio-capthas for the visually impaired, count as
maintenance, even a degree of new development.
