Sure, no problem.

I notice that you haven't yet migrated the project to savannah... is that a 
deliberate choice, or simply a lack of time?  I'd be happy to facilitate the 
migration if you like.

Among the advantages of hosting the project at savannah would have been that, 
for instance, you would have been able to add me to the developer list on the 
project page and grant me CVS write access yourself through your web browser, 
without the delays of going through the admin lists at gnu.

Cheers,
        Gary.
