Actually the long and growing project member list to me also is a
problem. It's not an urgent problem, but I'd sleep better (as one of
the admins) if there was a more fine grained access control. Most
people don't need and many don't even want to have write access to
everything. It's possible to mess things up even without intending
too, just for example with a wrong "cvs import". The fact that this
hasn't happened in the past is no excuse for the future.

The main problem with SVN on Sourceforge is, that there isn't even the
basic access control for SVN, that SF has for CVS, (AFAIK). I don't
think, that Savannah or - god beware: Google has the kind of access
control that we could have if we'd roll our own repository e.g. at
IEM.

Ciao
