The anonymous user does not need any login, that's the point of it.  The
CVS server at savannah does not use CVS authentication at all.  All
authenticated access must use SSH authentication.

I think the message should only be printed when accessing the server
interactively.  While Savannah servers are not meant for interactive
use, you _can_ access them with plain ssh, which gives you the login
banner, and adding the blurb from sv_membersh here would not disturb any
valid use.

Unfortunately, the recommendation on that page is no longer appropriate,

Just clone the repository as a mirror (git clone --mirror) from github,
then push it (also with --mirror) to savannah.

Nope, ssh uses its own pair(s) of keys, managed by ssh-keygen.

The module is the same as what you pass to cvs checkout.

But git cvsimport is deprecated, see the first paragraph in
git-cvsimport(1).

I see IPv6 addresses for the various subdomains of

I'm only seeing IPv4 addresses on any Savannah server.  Also,
lists.nongnu.org still uses an IPv6 address from the old provider, which
doesn't work any more.

All savannah servers got new IP addresses, because the whole gnu.org
network moved to a different provider.  Since the host key didn't
change, you can be certain that you are connecting to the same server as
before.

Perhaps the reboot happend just when the lock was held, and left some

You can use
