What is the status for adding sources.redhat.com (pointing to
205.180.83.71) to the DNS?

I've asked about this repeatedly over a period of weeks or months and
gotten no response.

Looks good, be my guest and commit it.

Also a good idea, if you ask me...

Speaking about trying to keep sources a bit lighthearted I've just added
the following to the FAQ list...


I need cvs write access for XYZ Project? 
We have an XYZ Project? Cool! 
Ok, you need write access for a project hosted on sources you say? Well,
first you'll need to have your request approved by the project
maintainer(s). Once they give their ok, you can use our handy dandy
little form and we'll process your request. 

If anyone has any feedback on this or the handy dandy little form that
goes along with this FAQ, let me know.

Paul, thanks for doing this.  It looks great.

I made a couple minor tweaks:

* I made it mention sources.redhat.com and gcc.gnu.org, not sourceware
* I made it mention the project and not the repository.
  There's an oddity here: sometimes projects share a repository.
  But we want group membership to still be based on the primary
  project.  This matters for users who have logins and can upload
  files to ftp.

How does the appended patch look to you?  If it is ok with you I'll
check it in.

Maybe we should have a separate page that is `de-Red-hatted' -- it
would only mention gcc and not give a choice of project.  Comments?
Especially from gcc maintainers?
