There seem to be a couple of git mirrors maintained by individuals on a personal-effort basis. Even though one is hosted on Savannah, it's still a read-only mirror, and not the main repository. It may start being updating again, or it may not. There is nothing that Emacs developers, in general, can (or should, IMO) do about it. I think there ought to be a note on http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/ saying that the git repository is an unofficial, read-only mirror provided as a convenience for users, and that it may be out-of-date with respect to the real repository by an arbitrary amount at any time. To be sure of being up-to-date, use the bzr repository.
