I'm interested.  And, I won't bore you by debating your choice of 
tools.  SVN + Darcs + proof of concept with many projects including 
Haskell is good enough for me.

I would like to see it integrated with Darcs.  Part of what needs to 
happen in the Chicken community, is more people need to have proper 
Darcs permissions.  So that they can actually set about fixing bugs.  
Even if they need to ask questions before knowing what to change, the 
process is a lot faster if people aren't waiting on, say, Felix to 
cut-n-paste e-mails.

Getting more people using Darcs, and actually modifying the source pool 
proper, may be the low hanging fruit as far as handling the labor 
issues.  As opposed to the more exotic notification scheme I laid out, 
which I still think is a good idea.
