The Savannah account name has also been used as a way to generate a canonical name for a user account name. Various documentation (which I would need to search for to find) documents that new users should create a Savannah account in order to generate a canonical account name that would then be unique across all of the systems. Also the lifecycle for a project might have it start as a new non-GNU project, be developed for some time that way, then be submitted as an official GNU project. Upon acceptance then the type can simply be changed from non-GNU to GNU and everything is in place for it. Bob
