Just go to the savannah site, and hit the "join this group" button,
or, as Eric wrote, tell us your developer name.

He already got.

The "xx" was only the name of the top-level directory in CVS, anyway.
It didn't appear in the command name, as you know.

You have to convince Michael and maybe Petr about that, not Eric or
me. ;-)

Thomas did have this permission already for quite some time. ;-)

Same here, Thomas was already allowed to do that.  The only nuisance
here is that Savannah's web site stuff is always maintained in a CVS
tree, there's no freedom of choice for the VCS.  Hope you can live
with that. ;-)

That's the expectation for active developers.  In particular, it would
be your (Thomas, Onno, Petr, Michael) job to handle the patch and bug
trackers.

I'd like to stay along to handle anything on the legacy simulavr code,
if really needed.  That's been my original reason to join the group as
a developer.  If/when the new simulavr becomes a complete drop-in
replacement for the legacy code, we could eventually abandon that.  We
could discuss that separately if you want.

Of course, I also stand to my other offers, in particular about
rolling and distributing releases and other admin jobs.  I've been
working on savannah for many years now, so I've got some experience
about how to handle this and that.
