Yes -- I've made the module for gnewt but not lrmi (no request for it
yet).
I wonder if you are coordinating with Joey Hess. I assume this stuff
is destined for woody. Are you and Joey in accord on how all this
fits in with the woody plans?

I have no authority, power, or wish to modify groups on
cvs.debian.org.
The easiest thing is for me to just add the user to the pserver list
and remove them when his user account goes in. I have no intention of
changing how I run the CVS repository at this time, and no time to
deal with it, so there will be no change in how I manage the CVS
stuff.
When Joey takes over he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to take
over repository management now, that's fine with me too, although I
object to any changes at this point that might make it harder for
those folks using pserver to get work done.
