Hmm. If that is indeed so, I would find it very worrying. I know that the
FTP repository disappeared when the Savannah was restored, but to this
moment I believed that CVS was left intact, at least for a project like 
ours which was dormant during the breaking into the Savannah site.

In CVS repository there is no recorded activity by you on
FreeMonoBoldOblique; there is a gap between October 2, 2003 and October
25, 2005, which I believed can be well explained by the fact that nobody
actually touched the font during this time.

There is actually no recorded activity by you on any of the Free 
Monospaced fonts; there exist records about working on Free Serif and Free 
Sans in May and June 2003, respectively. Have you been working on Free 
Monospaced at some later time, i.e. between October 2003 and May 2005 
(there exists a record from May 2005).

Personally, I would find it much more comforting if it turns out that you 
perhaps forgot to commit the changes, while the thought that comitted 
changes can actually be lost is rather disturbing.

With kind regards,
Primoz
