Opinions? I hope the bzr repository, when available, will make all this easier. My preference is to have a place, either Gnus trunk or a branch, where I can commit new code without waiting for approval. I would prefer that to be the Gnus trunk, and I think it makes sense to have a Gnus CVS branch for the purpose of synchronization with Emacs CVS. IOW, the synchronization that happens from the Gnus trunk right now should happen from a "for Emacs" branch, so Gnus developers are not affecting Emacs developers and vice versa. Then the burden falls on Reiner or others to backport things into the "for Emacs" branch when appropriate. This would bring the Gnus CVS trunk back to the "bleeding edge" status it had in the past.
