How odd.

On sv.gnu.org, in the vcs-noshell I saw that you were
not a member of the "automake" group, in spite of the above.

So I added you manually:

    # id akim
    uid=65557(akim) gid=1003(svusers) 
groups=1003(svusers),1032(libtool),1034(m4),1040(autoconf),1080(bison),1152(cvs-utils),2284(a2ps),2348(texinfo),4294(vampire)

    # adduser akim automake
    Adding user `akim' to group `automake' ...
    Done.
    # id akim
    uid=65557(akim) gid=1003(svusers) 
groups=1003(svusers),1032(libtool),1034(m4),1040(autoconf),1080(bison),1120(automake),1152(cvs-utils),2284(a2ps),2348(texinfo),4294(vampire)

BTW, I've changed your status from "member" to "admin", too.
