The answer is "no".

But this is not a stupid question at all.

See, "savannah" and the savannah page for your project 
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/fontypython) are *not* meant to be the
project's home page.

The savannah page is meant for *developers* or people who are
interested in contributing to your project. Casual users
of your project usually don't have anything to do on savannah's pages.

Savannah does offer a separate home page for every project,
hosted on "nongnu.org".

In your case, it'll be http://www.nongnu.org/fontypython/
and http://fontypython.nongnu.org .

Alternatively,
You can also enable a "home page" link to another website
(if you host your home page else where).


To enable the home page, visit your project's page on savannah,
click on the "main" menu and click "Select Features"
(this is the direct link: 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/project/admin/editgroupfeatures.php?group=fontypython 
).

There, enable "Homepage" (first on the list) and "Homepage Source Code 
Web Browsing" then enter the desired link.

Updating the HTML pages then request CVS access (sadly git/svn/hg are 
not supported for web pages).


For more information see

For example, compare LwIP's savannah page with their home page:
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip
  http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/2_0_x/index.html

The exact same rules applies for GNU projects, compare guile's savannah 
page to their beautiful home page:
  https://savannah.gnu.org/p/guile
  https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

Agreed. That's what the home page is for.
