Currently, team members and ambassadors have access to the save code now functionality for tarballs.
When a user asks SWH for saving tarballs, we need to dispatch this request to ambassadors in a traceable manner.
To this end, a proposal is to create a "save requests collection" or "rescue mission" project in the forge (here and migrate to gitlab) and create tickets under the project with the following template:
Title: [save request] submit <name> tarball link to save code now Description: Here is the link to source code page where code needs rescuing: <link> / <list of links> visit page and download content from direct link. Please verify that the tarballs are source code and submit the direct link in: save.softwareheritage.org
The ticket should be labeled (tagged) also Ambassadors.
This project can also be a holder of forges that needs to be rescued, similarly as the https://wiki.softwareheritage.org/wiki/Suggestion_box:_source_code_to_add
