The Savannah Hackers don't have access to set up new systems. We can access the Savannah free software forge as it is and nothing more. And in fact we have been waiting a couple of years for new Savannah VMs ourselves. If we were able to set up systems ourselves then we would have set up new ones for ourselves an eon ago. The FSF is short of resources to provide them to us. The main issue right now seems to be disk space and second issue is available ram. So as a first pass response I am sorry to say that we can't help you with this. It is impossible to know the venn diagram of circles of administration unless you are involved in them. And even then I can't always remember them all. You can only come sit in the discussion and chat for a while and peel away layers of the onion. :-) The admins you need to talk to who can do the actual technical work are the FSF admins. You would need to file a ticket with the sysadmin AT gnu.org which will generate a ticket in their RT system. Or perhaps to get momentum toward your idea talking with the gnu-advisory mailing list and getting buy-in from the-powers-that-be there first would be the right way to go. That would get you use of the FSF admins time and resources. Going through gnu-advisory is probably the most official path through the-powers-that-be. I also recognize that there is a lot in common with a previous discussion just recently in this group on this same topic. The thread that starts here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-02/msg00000.html And specifically much of Assaf's response here contained a wonderful treasure trove of detailed information: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-02/msg00002.html > I've requested a subscription to savannah-hackers-public and will follow > replies in the web archive until it's confirmed. The mailing list is public and open to any subscribers. There is no subscriber restrictions. However I don't see you subscribed yet so will CC you as is typical. If you have trouble subscribing please write to the -OWNER address in this case savannah-hackers-public-owner AT gnu.org which I expand to avoid the email address redactor in the archive filter. Bob
