How did you know that I was going to ask you the favor to craft something?
:-)

Thanks a lot; I just have a few minor comments. (In some cases I only
mention a change once, though of course it applies to all occurrences.)

What do you think about simply adding the CVSup information to the CVS
page (as opposed to creating a new cvsup.html page)? I'm somewhat in favor
of this, but if you strongly prefer otherwise, that's also fine with me.

The project is spelled GCC (uppercase) now, for GNU Compiler Collection;
gcc refers to the GNU C Compiler. (More or less.)

Please use <code> instead of <tt> and close all paragraphs with a </p> at
the end.

I believe this should read "overseers@gcc.gnu.org" instead of Jeff? Jeff
is one of the overseers, but we should try to reduce his workload. ;-)
