As a past committer and existing Savannah member, I've noted I'm still
a project member which I believe grants CVS access; further I note a
promotion to "technician" and "manager" within the project trackers.
Per project policy all patches are reviewed before any commits.

I've learned events are shifting since I first posted so I may delay
commencing serious work.
