The most frequent reason is that the registration email went to the 'spam' 
folder.
Please, check if you have an email from "address@hidden" in your "trash" or 
"spam" folder.
The subject of the email should be "Savannah Account Registration".

If this is not the case, we can investigate further.
Did you use your ".edu" email or another email provider (e.g "gmail" or 
"hotmail" ) ?

First,
As a temporary work-around, you can send information (including bugs) to the 
DDD developers through their mailing list:
  https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddd
By sending an email to "address@hidden" (no need to subscribe to the mailing 
list to post on it).

Second,
Unless there's a bug in GNU Savannah, I believe it is possible to submit 
anonymous bug reports,
as I have just created one here (not in the DDD project, though).
 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?43366

Please note that there's a trick question at the bottom of the page, asking you 
for George Orwell's famous book title -
This is a poor-man's "are you human" test, and without answering it you'll get 
an error message, saying:
 "you are not logged in, and you didn't answer the magic anti-spam number, please go 
back".

If the registration email was not found in your spam folder, please write back 
and we'll investigate further.
