Sourceware does host some GNU projects, but I assume you want to be as
close to poke as possible.

GNU poke uses savannah for git and ftp.gnu.org for releases.  Do you
intend to move over to savannah and ftp.gnu.org once you are a GNU
package?

If so, would starting out on savannah.non-gnu be an option to make
migration simpler?
