No. It's just that I haven't spotted any requests for imports.

I guess you guys are using the task system for things like this
(yes?). I'd be happy to do CVS imports based on the task list.

I think there are many non-active GNU admins (like me and alexl for

The request come directly into the tech support manager on the

Would it be better for me to take load off the moderators by answering
support calls. I can see the sense in keeping moderation to quite a
tight team.
