I addressed my message to savannah-hackers-public in case the problems I experienced are due to some wider issue with gnu.org machines, not local to fencepost. Basically, given that the fsfstatus page seems to be... ahm... less functional than I'd expect, I consider savannah-hackers-public to be the closest replacement -- a bunch of people who have interest in, and some in-depth knowledge of, what is going on in the gnu.org domains and systems. I apologize if that was wrong.
