If you'd like CVS-write access, just say the word (and send me your SF 
login).  That would avoid your problems with anonymous access.

So, how do we go about doing this?  SF makes a nightly tarball of the 
CVS repository, so I guess I'd just need someone from the freedesktop

I've got limited time to deal with this right now, so I'm tempted to 
punt until January in any case.
