I think it is a bit strange.. int the days of cvs you almost never had 
free cvs server. cvsdude is the only one I know. Anyway, if this goes 
through Codehaus for example, then the user of course still needs access 
to the server... I think I like the idea to use the mailing list to 
handle patches and automatically merge after voting much better.
