I've tried [https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fencepost-users subscribing
to fencepost-users] to no avail.
My GPG public key is uploaded to Savannah.
My SSH public key is uploaded to Savannah.
Both of these have been true for months to years.
I cannot SSH in to fencepost.
This blocks me from performing certain GNU maintainerly functions.
