    what's required?

Applying the (stringent) Savannah requirements to new submissions:
https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php

With more details:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly 

The basic idea is to carefully go through the tarball and look for
problems.  The most likely are 1) missing/wrong copyright notices,
and 2) use of "Linux" for the system instead of "GNU/Linux",
or "open source" (vs. "free software").  As you can imagine, it is
pretty laborious.

We have a fossology installation available that might be able to help,
but haven't got that whole process worked out.

Let us know (on savannah-hackers-public) if still interested.

Thanks for your interest.
