Hello, Savannah hackers!

I'm aware of our policy regarding project names:

  "Project identifiers should be reasonably descriptive, rather than
  terse abbreviations or confusingly general."

However, I want to make sure I'm applying it the way it is intended
to.  Should I decide if a name is acceptable or not just judging by
common sense and my sole viewpoint?

To contextualize, the task #13802[0] is the submission of a project
named simply "chat".  It's not reasonably descriptive, because the
project has nothing to do with communication (rather the submitter
claims it to be a programming language implementation).  Furthermore,
although it's not a terse abbreviation, it's is confusingly general,
IMHO.

Particular and general advice is appreciated.
