thanks for your offer. There are already some volunteers, but I guess the more 
people fixing bugs the better. Welcome on board and thanks for your help.

Before you get write access to the svn repository, you should provide some 
patches / work on some bugs. Useful reading includes

http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2008/05/msg00132.html

Besides what is in the links, there are two more things that I think would be 
useful:

- Check the packages (apache2/apr/apr-util/ssl-cert) for changes needed or 
recommended with policy 3.8.0.

- Package apr/apr-util 1.3 in a way that the dbd drivers (and maybe ldap) get 
separated into their own packages. This way people who only use subversion 
would not need to install the mysql and postgres client libraries. This 
probably requires some experience with packaging shared libraries. Apr 1.3 will 
be for lenny+1, however. Lenny will be released with apr/apr-util 1.2.12, but 
we could upload 1.3 to experimental already.

(The other volunteers are of course welcome to do this, too ;-) )

Cheers,
Stefan
