Oh, of course you are right!

Great, welcome on board!

First, you need a savannah account (https://savannah.gnu.org) if you
don't have one already.  In your account settings, you have to register
your public SSH key which will be used for authentication by git.  Go to
the AUCTeX page (https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/auctex/) and apply
for membership.  I'll then accept and you are ready to push.  Let's use
this patch as test if your setup works, i.e., I won't commit and push it
right now but you do it yourself after we've set everything up.

The right git url to use with your savannah user name and SSH key is
shown on https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=auctex when you are logged
in.

Bye,
Tassilo
