  Sounds good to me! More developers are always appreciated at this 
point. Any particular area of focus for working on Gnash ?

  Here's the two forms that are required. One is for any current 
changes, and the other is for future changes. You'd need to do both as a 
developer. If you have a savannah.gnu.org account, I can give you CVS 
checkin abilities after you're sure you'll be an active contributor.

  Like most GPL'd projects, the copyright for Gnash has been assigned 
to the FSF.
