Sourceware seeking support from the Software Freedom Conservancy

Sourceware.org has long hosted therepositories for many important free-software projects, including much ofthe GNU toolchain. Frank Ch. Eigler has postedabout some changes coming to Sourceware:

Red Hat has been and continues to be a generous sponsor of thehardware, connectivity, and the very modest employee time itrequires. We are glad to report there are zero indications of anychange to this commitment. Things are stable, new services arecoming online, and users seem to be happy. However, it is alwaysgood to think about any future needs.

To protect confidence in the long term future of this hostingservice, we have reached out to the Software Freedom Conservancy(SFC) to function as a "fiscal sponsor".
