See here

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_18.html#SEC183

and the third paragraph here.

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_18.html#SEC172

So if you had something like this in your verifymsg trigger script

DEFAULT your_script ${USER}

then your_script would be passed the username in the first parameter and 
the log message file in the second parameter. You can do the same sort 
of thing with the commitinfo trigger script. See here for the parameters 
to it:
