George, I am writing to request that Digy and I are made committers as soon as possible. It is a practical matter. Maintaining a separate codebase locally and adding and removing patches is time-consuming and error-prone when dealing with many deltas. Especially, for myself, considering that I have begun to port the changes from the 2.3.2 release as well - it's a juggling act. I bet that we each have a different version of the code on our local machines. SVN access will simplify this process, and we will all be assured of working on the latest code at any given time. Your role as gatekeeper will still apply, and any unwarranted commits may simply be rolled back.
Thanks, Doug
