- Subject: PATCH: cvswrite.html -- web form versus mail to overseers
Apparently CGF often receives requests for account changes via the web
form, when mail to overseers would have been better. Also, I'd try to
improve the instructions a bit (active instead of passive,...).
Update information how to request CVS write access, especially if you
already have access to sources.redhat.com.
