This sounds very exciting, and I'm sure I don't see all of the
complications...but I won't let that stop me from having an
opinion.
Doesn't the anoncvs host have most of the information it needs
when it sees the post? You (or some other project member) have
already written a client to parse the nntp traffic on each of the
anoncvs hosts. Can the client also do a local cvs commit of the
patch in the post, rather than some kind of cvs update or remote
sync?
