Personally I would be. That said, here's my feature request in case you 
are really going to implement that... ;) :
Make the individual revisions' detail data collapsible, so that I could 
expand only those nodes that interest me while still keeping the general 
"timeline" visible. Always displaying all revision comments inside the 
Graph could otherwise result in a rather crowded view. Some of our 
revision comments often exceed 20 lines of text and more. 
Oh, and make sure the texts could still be selected and copied to the 
clipboard... ;)

Thinking about it... maybe a simple tooltip window showing the revision 
details in addition to the existing click-behaviour (for the select/copy 
tasks) would already be sufficient?

Nothing that I know about. Kalle? Jerzy? Jens?


> 3.) Or to put it another way: What shall I do ?

I'd say just discuss what you're going to do here and see how it's 
received and then (or accompanying the discussion if you've already got 
something to show) post the patches to the cvsgui-dev file area at 
Yahoogroups or, if it's at least near-complete, to the Sourceforge.net 
tracker.

So, cheers and welcome aboard from me! :)
