CVS provides facilities for a 'readers' file, which is how anoncvs
generally works.  The anoncvs user has filesystem write priviledges,
but is program-blocked through the readers file.  To implement this
feature, Savannah would have to manipulate this file through the web
interface (it could always be done directly by checking out the
CVSROOT, but that seems error prone to me).

I'm mostly wondering if it already supports this through the frontend.
