[Savannah-hackers] Submission got lost?

[Richard Stallman]

A week ago I got a list of pending evaluations and MIT Scheme was not
on it.  Which means that Chris's request got lost at some point.

Can people please check and see where and how it got lost?

Please report back to me on what happened, and please propose changed
procedures so that such requests won't get lost in the future.

       I created a project on Savannah, and requested that it be a GNU
       project:

           http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/mit-scheme/

   Could you tell me precisely how you made this request?  To where?
   Which month?

   I need to track down where the request got lost.

Last month I submitted the request using the project-registration form
at "https://savannah.gnu.org/register/";.  Below is the automated reply
I received at that time, followed by two subsequent messages
indicating that the project was registered and also submitted for
approval as a GNU project.

Post scriptum, important notes:
 * In order, to release your project, you should write copyright notices
   and license notices at the beginning of every source code file, and
   include a copy of the plain text version of the license. If your
   software is published under the GNU GPL license, you should read
   http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html#SEC4
 * If you plan using PHP, it would be nice to make sure it works with php3
   The php4 license has restrictions that forbids distribution of modified
   source packages. Using PHP3 is the only way to pressure for a license
   change.
