That's perfectly all right. Having the Wish filed with the savannah bug
tracker up front might be a good thing in case others want to contribute
ideas, though, or offer some other help.

Sent you a separate e-mail so you can request the required form.

The commands of bzr are far closer to svn than e.g. git would be. So it
shouldn't be too hard.
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/migration/en/survival/bzr-for-svn-users.html
has some documentation about using bzr svn-style. If you want that, I'd
have to set up the branch in the first place, as otherwise all your
changes would go directly to trunk. But with a slightly closer look at
bzr documentation I assume you'll be able to access most of the bzr
potential just fine.
