I'm only a user of mc. 

Urls like emacs.gnu.org etc are planned by I do not know the current
plans about it.
In the meantime, Pavel can get http://www.gnu.org/software/mc

It does not hurts my feeling, I just found important to provide
informations about SF.net when needed. 

One could says that being a Savannah Admin disqualify me for such a

SF.net and VA Software are no longer clearly affiliated with Free
Software (or Open Source, whatever the name).
