Me too, so let's try to get this sorted out right now.

<URL:http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Mach/GNUMachRevivalProject> gives a
rough overview about what that effort is supposed to be.

I don't know anything about the current state.

Here, on this very mailing list.  Imho there is no need for yet another
mailing list which Gianluca thought about creating.

Posting patches would be a convenient way for us to review the fixes and
finally apply them to the RCS, given there is a consensus among the
participients of this mailing list.

Note that for fixes that are more advanced than adding some casts to get
rid of compile-time warnings or similar, we'd like you to assign the
copyright of your changes to the FSF.

I don't see the immediate need for that, be it before or after ``the
project is done''; under the assumption that GNU Mach remains to be GNU
Mach w.r.t. interfaces to the Hurd, etc.
