Yup, Ben's right.  Updates don't go into CVS... never have and I doubt 
they ever will.  The only times that maintainers have anything to do 
with updates is usually immediately after a release when there are 
bugfixes... these get into CVS because they are typically rebuilds from 
cooker.  Or when we do kernel updates because Juan does most of the 
work there, but again, these don't go into CVS.
