I think the more accurate statement is that there are a few projects which are inactive _on Savannah_. Savannah hasn't been around all that long in the history of the FSF / GNU project, and many projects predate it. Although most of those projects may have a presence on Savannah now, often they still use traditional methods of managing the project (mostly mailing lists) rather than the Savannah facilities. There's no mandate that a GNU project MUST use Savannah for project management. For bash, in particular, the bash(1) man page has an extensive section on how to report bugs and nowhere does it mention Savannah. >From bash(1) BUG REPORTS: > Once you have determined that a bug actually exists, use the bashbug > command to submit a bug report.
