I'm trying to send the diffs to dri-patches. There are all sort
"do's" and "don't's" in the SourceForge mail systems which are causing
me some grief, but I'll sort it out.

Not yet, but I read that the MoinMoin developers are working on a CVS
backend.

MoinMoin Wiki has some support for email notification, but that's
irrevelevant now due to the way SF web services are configured. CGI
scripts are run with nobody/nogroup uid/gid, therefore every data on the
wiki has be be world-readable/writable, so anybody with a shell account
on SF could mess with the Wiki content, bypassing all CGI scripts
completly.

Backing-up is the only insurance against tampering at the moment.  So
the diff I've been doing is actually the diff between consecutive backup
snapshots, every night.

Having a CVS backend would solve many of these issues, so when it's
finished/supported upstream we should evaluate using it.
