This is because we are using self-signed certificates at Savannah.

The problem is on both sides. Your browser doesn't have our CA certificate 
installed
and thus does not recognize the site as being trusted. On the other hand our CA
certificate does not ship with browsers, so there is always a need to install 
it.

More information on SSL certificates used at Savannah can be found at
http://savannah.gnu.org/tls, where you can also download our CA certificate.

I hope this helps, if there are any further questions from your side feel free 
to reply.

Stephan
