I thought of that too, but in case like this it means that the
requirement to be listed at /gnu/gnu-user-groups.html should be
dropped.

Or, alternatively, if it is attached to the email to
address@hidden, webmasters can approve it and ask the OP about
the task number where someone can ACK that the group has been approved
(but not listed yet as there is no page online).

This is something to think about.

Yes, there are several groups that have Google/Yahoo group only which
is AFAIU an interface to a newsgroup.

What to do now?  According to the current rules, the "ocelote"
Savannah project cannot be approved, and webmasters cannot list the
Ocelote GUG as there is no webpage.
