I understand.  As I've been saying: It's a great time to be a geek,
as long is you like being busy.  :-)

I'm interested in contributing, of course.  While I've found the
code to be quite easy for maintinance, I don't feel I have the
exposure to the code that allows me to avoid introducing subtle
bugs.  And, of course, there's that I'm fairly swamped as well.  :-)
I usually only get time to dig through Mailman on the weekends.
I don't expect it to get much better for a couple of weeks.

However, I have been thinking that it might be interesting to have
a secondary CVS repository where changes could be made and tested 
and reviewed by anyone.  Then, once changes were in and we were
confident about them we could submit patch bundles back to the
mainstream line.

Kind of like what was done with EGCS.
