Sylvain or Karl can explain much better, but here's my take: 1) Mapping of the web repositories. GNU projects are mapped to gnu.org/software/package while non-GNU to nongnu.org/package. 2) It is very helpful to select the group of all GNU packages, for example if you want to review them and see if you can contribute. 3) I suspect there are gazillion of other differences in the way Savannah handles the two groups (actually, there are more groups), like mailing lists, etc. > It seems like a needless devision and a human interface nightmare. I don't think so.
