OK, I've added you to the administration project, you can assign tasks
to you when you work on them :)

That looks good. We also insist on placing a copy of the GNU GPL along
with the code. Usually we request a release tarball (even if the code
is not functional) to check if the user knows about those details.

Feel free to browse the stock responses we base our answers on:

http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/administration/infra/elisp/savannah.el?root=administration

to get an idea of the points we check in a project submission.


If you feel safe with your answer and my remarks, please send your
answer to the tracker.

Cheers,
