IIUC the message you don't like is auto-generated and controlled by
whether or not the CVS flag is set. Note that this flag only controls
the non-web part, IIUC (the web part is always unconditionally enabled).
Actually... it seems that the CVS part is already de-activated, so it
seems the problem is on the savannah side where the auto-generated
message isn't quite right.

I guess savannah hasn't been made aware that these belong to the
`emacs' project.

Actually, the problem is that mailing-list configuration has only
"public" and "private" settings which control how easily one can
subscribe, but it doesn't have any settings about who can send email to
that list.
