Oops, OK, sorry for moving that - I didn't realise you were maintaining

Getting the history back might be harder.  How important is that to you?

That is also a good idea.  I'm not sure what savannah provides there,
but at worst if people were to send such things to the mailing list one
of the admins could add them to a webpage on savannah.
