GNU, the FSF, and Stallman are three different entities.

Savannah is host to many non-GNU software projects.  The FSF (not GNU;
GNU is not a registered non-profit or anything) provides servers and
sysadmin time to Savannah as a public service.  Neither the FSF nor the
GNU project has a say on what these projects do; the only requirement is
that they be free software projects.

It would be sad to end up promoting a proprietary tool because of a
misunderstanding.

Anyway, your call.
