No, not currently. I usually go to the web interface and look at the open bugs, process new ones that can be handled quickly, or try to assign them to an expert on the specific area.

There are a lot more areas than we have experts - in these
cases I try to work on the ticket myself. This, and the
low quality of some of the submissions, consumes a considerable amount of time.

Good point. I am the defacto "expert" for Cygwin/XFree86, considering that I have been contributing to the project for 3 years now and leading the project for going on 2 years.


You might think that I should therefore be able to commit my own patches that were Cygwin-specific, but that is not the case.

I do not think that Egbert should have to be burdened with committing Cygwin-specific patches.

Can I please finally be given CVS commit access with the understanding that I am a moron and that I will only commit things that are Cygwin-specific, with all other non-Cygwin-specific patches sent via bugs.xfree86.org? At the first sign of my veering off course you could feel free to revoke my access. I think I have already proven that I am dedicated to the XFree86 project and that I am knowledgible enough to know where the line is between patches for my own platform and patches that may break the build on other platforms.

Thanks,

Harold
