[Gllug] Open Source project hosting

[Daniel P. Berrange]

In the end I went for GNA since it uses the same codebase as 
Savannah (which I what I wanted to use in the first place) and 
has support for GNU Arch. They're apparently working on a capability 
to import/export to/from Savannah so once it starts approving 
projects again, there is an easy migration path if desired. 

I liked the look (& particularly speed) of the GForge code, but
the hoops you need to jump through for Alioth would just be
too much to bother with this time around.
