We don't make people jump through the same hoops.  Sending CVS patches 
to bug-cvs@gnu.org implies consent to releasing your changes under the 
GNU GPL.

I think Noel Yap fixed this in his "Renegade CVS" on SourceForge.  As 
far as I know, he hasn't been maintaining it, but you might be able to 
extract the appropriate patch segments and port them forward.

I've been trying to cajole various people, including Noel, to clean up 
the patch, add tests & doc, and chop it up into small, easily disestable 
chunks so that I can review & commit them.  This is especially relevant 
now that we have a feature branch, but my interest in `cvs edit' isn't 
much greater than Larry's, so someone else is going to have to do most 
of the work.
