Well, it's obvious that we need more groups than folks from Mozilla did.
I'm not sure though whether or not it's hard to implement (without
knowing Perl). I guess it shouldn't be. I can promise to look at it, but
I'm afraid I'm slowly drowning in my promises, and that's not good. So
I'll take a look at it, but no deadlines please. :)

No, I don't think there's any internal backup or version control
mechanism in Litmus. However, the server admins have set up daily
backups of the machine Litmus runs on, and that includes databases, so
we do have external backups I think.
