  As Marcus pointed out, the continuity of Savannah happens on the 'Savane' 
project at https://gna.org . The FSF chose to migrate to GForge (which is 
not precisely scheduled, but is a firm decision anyway) because it estimated 
that Savannah was not suitable for their needs and/or capacity of security 
and maintenance efforts.

  Forges are multiplying, wether GForge or Savannah based, and it is 
expected that people will use them for different reasons, technical, 
political or whatever. Right now it's quite easy to move Savane projects 
around (eg. Savannah -> Gna!), and efforts are ongoing for a more universal 
'project exchange format' (eg. Savane <-> GForge) : see
