[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I think it would make it easier for others to find source code and
contribute to the project as there are a lot of different forks of emacs
available and it is better to make it clear which is the official one (For
example there are couple of links to github if you google emacs source code
rather than savannah).

Yes, I agree.  Could somebody who knows how the gnu.org web page stuff
works fix https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html

which says

"GNU Emacs development is hosted on savannah.gnu.org. "

to something that mentions "source code"?

I can push the following, if thatʼs what you want (and Iʼm strongly
hoping that vc will Do The Right Thing™, because my CVS neurons were
purged a decade ago).
