Sorry, I haven't gotten around to that -- and, as I've tried to
indicate, my local tree is regrettably quite a bit out of sync with
CVS right now :(

I'm trying to use whatever time I can find to backport the parts of my
local tree that can/should go into CVS _now_ -- and get up to date
with this list.

However, I have put your messages in the "look at this when I have
time" category -- I'll try to become better at notifying people
whenever I put stuff into that category.

AFAIK: Yes, only the "core developers" have CVS write access.  I think
there have been some attempts to make that situation better whenever
it got clear that all the core developers were to busy with other
stuff, but I don't think anything has come of these attempts yet.

Hmmm, would SourceForge solve any of this?
