I'd like to second that motion.  I've seen a lot of patches go
by and the CVS activity hasn't been all that responsive.  If the
patch queue doesn't clear up a bit there is an increasing chance
someone will fork and go off in another direction in order to
keep development moving and suit their own needs, which will
just fragment the community and overall make a mess of things. 

Allowing a few more carefully selected people write access to
CVS would break up the logjam and allow continued development
under one project.  Having one 'official' build is a very good
thing. The fork scenario should be avoided if possible otherwise
the project might fall apart.
