As I already said in another mail the git repository[1] is online now.

repo.or.cz offers a mob account which allows everyone to commit[1] to a
special branch of the repository without having your own account. I am
not sure how well this will work out, but let's just give it a try

I will try to review and merge changes appearing there. So, if you
want to commit something without waiting for write permissions you can
do that there.
