cvs issue reporting

[Mark Cooper]

Last week, I posted a message to this group for help with a particular 
problem, namely that when merging between two branches (as opposed to 
merging between branch and trunk) under certain circumstances removed 
files can be re-added.

Having investigated this according to the single useful response I got 
(thanks to Matthew Herrmann), I am 99.9% sure that there is an issue (as a 
developer myself I hesitate to use the word 'bug') which needs addressing.

I have tried to access and add to the (bugzilla?) issues/bugs list at the 
cvshome site, but found that no-one can actually post to this unless they 
are have 'joined' the project.

I did that.

I then found that no-one can actually post a new issue unless they have at 
least been given the role of 'observer'.

I requested that. It was refused (no reason given).

So. My question is 'How do I report an issue or bug to the cvs development 
team?'.
