I'll leave it up to Ken to give a definitive word, but I know he's been busy recently so I'll toss in my opinion. First, yes, the savannah site should be considered official. The mhost site should just point to savannah at this point. I don't think release candidates belong in the ports collection. 1.1rc1 should be relatively stable, but it hasn't been tested much at this point. Development has gone very slowly. If there is enough demand, I'd consider making a second port, nmh-devel, as is common for some other ports. Alternatively, I'd be willing to figure out how to make a FreeBSD package of 1.1 rc1 and make it available for download for FreeBSD users who want to give 1.1 a try.
