1) This is a good idea.
2) This is getting a little too low level at the present moment.
3) We have enough resources and knowledge available to us that
anything we need to happen to SourceForge or CVS can happen.
I don't think that necessarily extends to hacking CVS; it's
reasonably customizeable as it stands right now. [1] [2]

[1] Chip, can we count on you to light the appropriate amount of fires
under the SourceForge maintainers should the situation become so
dire as to require it?
[2] FreeBSD has been an early and deep adopter of CVS for a good long time
now. Among their local hacks is the $FreeBSD$ tag which is a briefer
synopsis of $Revision$ and $Location$ I believe. For anyone who
wants to gain a deeper understanding of effective use of CVS, I
would recommend looking in that general direction.
