I'm working to get access on cvs.hungry.com.

Yes, that would be very nice. Who will need write access to the
repository? Only David Mosberger-Tang? I would expect a mailinglist
receiving info when changes are made. I suggest someone make
sane-commit@mostang.com, and I'll redirect commit messages to this
list.

It would be much easier if I was able to keep up to date with all new
patches to the source.

I don't think this will solve the problem. I will make a CVS
repository for SANE, and I hope you are interested in using it to
maintain the source.

If not, I will use it for keeping track of patches posted to the list,
and let all other interested users fetch the source using anonymous
CVS.
