What are you burbling about now? "We" is the set of people using the
savannah bug tracker as a crude approximation of a patch tracker for
the gnu-arch project. If you get around to submitting any changes
you'll pick up on it, I would hope. cscvs is a separate project and
I'm not sure why you'd mention it in this context -- but from what I
can see, the cscvs project uses an unholy marriage of private mail,
gnu-arch-users mail, and #arch irc traffic as a crude approximation of
a patch tracker.

I don't have to get Linus off the critical path. That happened a few
years ago (quite independently of bitkeeper, too). He could decide to
quit tomorrow and, aside from sites carrying his message being /.'ed,
there'd be relatively little practical impact.
