I won't object the migration of #savannah to some other IRC network if someone trustable first check than it doesn't have issues like this one (Or precisely this one). But I'm definitively not that "someone".
I see no reason why you can't do it, could you do it so we can resolve this issue? Do you know someone who can try and setup TOR with Freenode, and work with the Freenode people to resolve any issues if you don't have the time?
