Hello,

  the CVS hosting environment has been restricted for security reasons, 
and services are to be installed and allowed on a per application basis. 
Technically, perl is currently not available on the CVS host, but some 
basic tools have been indirectly installed via perlcc (converting a Perl 
script into a native executable). Past users of ciabot were only a 
handful and we still have important security items to fix, so this kind 
of service is low priority for now. Note that an effort to provide a web 
frontend to plug 'selected' services at user will (since CVSROOT is not 
writable anymore) should be on the way soon.

  I guess other projects which still have notifications must be using 
another hosting facility.
