I believe the web page https://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=emacs
is outdated and should be removed.
(There is now https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs)

I ran into the old page following a link at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
I expect this link should be updated, too.
Who has write access for this?

The pages come from
<http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/?root=emacs>, so all
members of the emacs project can do it.

Thanks. - Just double-checking:

Will nobody miss the bzr page?  (I did not follow all discussions on
the update to git.)

It's automatically generated. You'd have to open a Savannah support
request to see if it can be hidden, without removing the actual bzr
repo (which IMO would be a bad idea).

Fixed.

Change comes from within (ie, you do).

Thanks.  If it's an autogenerated page, I do not think it is worth
the effort.  It's more important that links are updated.

Actually, perhaps a project admin can hide it via the Savannah
web management interface, I don't know.

(BTW, ~ 50% of our Savannah project admins aren't involved with Emacs
development any more.)
