(I couldn’t find libavl on the list of GNU packages, so I haven’t
added it. Perhaps that’s a mistake, but it’s easy to add it if I
was too cautious.)
Well, sometimes it's under just "avl". It's on Savannah at
https://sv.gnu.org/p/avl, downloadable from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/avl/,
and www.gnu.org/software/avl redirects to a webpage that I
maintain.

One worry we had when publishing the /software page was that the
impression might arise that the official GNU maintainers of the
package endorse the social contract when actually the package was
listed because of a contributor having endorsed it. Since none of
the Gnulib maintainers have as yet endorsed the social contract I
decided against recording the affiliation at this point lest we
contribute to confusion and avoidable drama.
I hope that’s all right.
Makes sense to me. I wouldn't want to be taken as speaking for
the lead maintainers of Gnulib.
