We can't migrate the user data from SourceForge directly, so we'll be  
sending out invitations from our Subversion management software. In  
some ways, it's a good thing: it allows us to prune the list of  
developers down to active developers, gives us a chance to implement  
a more fine-grained security policy (since the sandbox will now be  
part of the same repository), etc.

Actually, Stefan, you'll be getting one of those invitations in a few  
minutes, just in case you'd like to help us move some of the CVS- 
specific documentation over to the Trac...
