It's fine for me if you add me to the project.  I basically would love
to be able to do similar commits and would like to be able to do so
flawlessly.

Fine.  BTW, there is no real need to keep my name - IMHO code does
matter more than names. :-)

This

  http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/rostlab/disulfinder/trunk/debian/upstream?revision=9492&view=markup

is a valid example (Comment field is ignored and unneeded) where you can
see valid syntax.  Please note that currently only the first entry is
displayed at the tasks pages while all entries are at least imported to
UDD.  I simply need to invent a totally different querying to get them
all and it might happen that the consequence is a different table
structure in UDD than it is currently used.

I remember that Charles dealt with Alioth admins about this and as far
as I know ACLs were used somehow.
 
Kind regards
