I suppose the policy is not to give users local access. As access to  
CVSROOT allows the developper to execute arbitrary commands, it is a  
security risk.

Paul and Jim are working on setting up some CVS-related tasks in the  
chroot'ed environnement. You may want to check with them how things are  
done and how you could implement the interface.

Yes :)
There are some other documentation related bugs at  
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=administration.
However I would not consider it as a priority.

I also hope to get enough free time soon to start working on the file  
admin interface, possibly getting help from Sebastian and Andreas if  
they are still interested in that task.
