Hi, I have a couple of quick patches I was thinking about submitting to a 
collective project that is not my own, and I wanted to get your thoughts on the 
etiquette of the collective.

1. I've already committed some whitespace-consistency, spelling, and 
syntax-error fixes that were preventing the HEAD revision from running on a 
couple of projects. No-one has complained, but did I cross a line? (I hope not, 
but it only occurred to me that that might not be appreciated after the fact.)

2. What constitutes an abandoned/languishing project? Take collective.ckeditor, 
which hasn't been touched in 9 mo. Its listed owner is Ingeniweb, which seems 
to have been replaced by Alter Way, which in turn doesn't seem to do Zope 
afaict. Is this project "fair game"? (I'm not saying I want to take it over, 
necessarily, but talking in generalities.)

3. For our own projects, is there some standard way we (as collective.X product 
"owners") can signal to other collective contributors whether or not we would 
welcome commits to trunk? (As opposed to branching and forking, which are 
protected rights in free software)

Please share your thoughts,
-Michael
