cvs does have the concept of "watchers" which allows people to be emailed when the status of a file they are watching changes, which is a good start. You should also configure cvs so that by default, checked out files are read only and have to explicitly be switched to "edit" if someone wants to change them. We also make heavy use of tagging with the help of our change control process. An issue # is created, then a developer assigned, then only that developer is expected to tag files with ISSUE_# tags. There is always a "DEV_STABLE" tag that all developers check out, then you update for your particular issues - that way you don't inadvertantly get another developers code that hasn't been unit tested yet.
