not wanting to sound impatient, but I still haven't received an answer to my questions.
a) What about my patch (the one about the pentuple-apostrophe bug)? Is it going to be committed? If not, why not? What do I need to change to make it committable?
Well, I would like to see it thoroughly tested; basic markup is something we try not to break.
b) Will I ever get CVS write access or not? If not, am I supposed to submit patches to this mailing list? Nobody else seems to do that.
Everybody else who has CVS access has been a longtime contributor who asked for it to facilitate something particular they'd been working on (updating language files in several cases). You've sort of popped up out of the blue, which is fine, but don't expect to have the keys to the source repository handed out instantenously; we don't use a wiki for source control yet. ;)
I've added you to the project; feel free to commit the patch and I'll make sur it gets on the test server for more live testing.
