(Get the code!)
I agreed on the FreeFont bug report.
At some point sizes, and on some font it looks OK, but at others I agree it looks very odd.
In particular, I use it at 12 point on my Ubuntu system for web browsing and such, and it looks great.
However, at 16 and 18 points, I find the overshoot distracting.
However, this deep overshoot is an original feature of the URW font on which the Sans face is based.
You can check this yourself.
The reason nothing has been done about it is, we have no idea what could be done about it.
What would you do? Completely revise the style of the face? Revise all 5289 glyphs in the face?
Do you have a weekend free?

And has been commented on several times. We are still thinking about it.
As to the Savannah issues, this is not my domain, but I have heard a lot of complaints, and I know a lot of things have changed, including personnel. Perhaps you could try again.
By the way, not only was no pressure brought to bear, nobody told us that you had posted anything here.
