CVS Maintainer

[twoller]

Greetings. i am new to CVS but wish to become an observant 
"maintainer" for a certain set of files (in the linux area).  that 
is, i just want to be notified when a file is modified (via email 
hopefully).
i have searched the CVS site that i am using 
(http://vger.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/linux) for any information on 
how to go about linking myself into a list as a CVS "maintainer" but 
have been unsuccessful.  
any help is appreciated on this subject (details are great, as i 
don't really know much about CVS, but am investigating).
thanks ahead of time,
Tom
