Great!

The normal process for open source development is that you send
the diffs either via e-mail, or create a PATCH issue in Issuezilla
and attach it there. The module owner then looks it over to see
if it's okay.  After one or two submissions the module owner may
then decide "yes, I can trust your code" and grant write permission
so you become a regular developer on the buglist module. This
is how Trond and Tim got their commit privileges.

That's the normal process. However, I'm overjoyed at having somebody
work on the buglist module, since I don't have time to myself.

So, I would like to nominate you to be the buglist maintainer.
I'll give you commit privileges to the tasklist module so that
you can putback your changes, and anything else you want to
add to it.  I would appreciate it if you also discuss your plans
on this alias (and if you plan to change anything outside of
the bugs/ directory, coordinate with me.)

What is your NetBeans.org username?
