Thanks, but actually those compliments should go to Loic, I joined the
team for Savannah just recently.

Good!, let us know how we can help.

:)

Don't worry, we take no offense.

We are definitely committed to provide good reliability, besides we
will not get that big and complex as SourceForge, Savannah is only for
components of the GNU system.

Thanks for pointing that out, I have contacted Gerald (you have been
copied) and he will fix that issue.

:(

I hope you get well soon.

Well, it definitely is an ASAP, because right now if any of the
projects needs bug tracking, there is none, except for the current
GNATS implementation that we have, but only a few projects are using
it.

Please take a look of the list of tasks related to GNATS-Savannah
integration.

Ok.
