I don't see any point in starting yet another project on it, but if it
makes you lucky, then do so.  You could as well had a Git repository
in the Savannah project instead.

I already said it before: *you* (whoever this "you" actually is, I
don't want to exclude anyone by that) are the developers, so *you* are
responsible for resolving the bugs, nobody else.  I'm an administrator
here, yes, but that doesn't mean I would be patching a CVS tree that
is not even used by the developers at all.  That would just be a waste
of time.  And: I've only inherited that administrtorship, but I'm not
a project developer, and don't want to be one.  (And frankly, I never
got the hang of Git.  Tried it, but I simply don't understand the
concepts behind it without studying a bunch of documentation first.)

So if you feel the Sourceforge project is the way to go: be it.
Personally, I think Sourceforge is overloaded with lots of
Spam^H^H^H^HAdvertisement, much harder to navigate than Savannah, and
quite frequently runs into performance issues in the web interface.

But again: a fork is nonsense, in my opinion.  It leaves users with
more confusion than necessary.

You (at least some of you) know me pretty well, so you could have
written me a personal email, asking for access.  I simply haven't been
able to follow all the discussions.

Also, there's a knob on the Savannah web interface people who want to
join a project could press, leaving a short explanation about their
intentions as a project member.  So far, there's just a single pending
request (by Colin Coombs, but I've never read that name before, nor
could I remember having seen the email from his request, it probably
predates the time when I became a project admin).  There's no request
filed by Onno, none by Petr, none by anybody else.  Sorry, but you
couldn't have been all that serious about your request then either.
