You're welcome, it's pleasant every time it grows, whoever is the commiter

Don't worry. I doubted with a lot of things. I'll try to learn from your 
corrections. (next time I should send it to the list before commiting)

I've been investigating, and it seems to be configured in the file 
/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/loginfo in the server. Oops! It seems you can 
checkout the CVSROOT module and modify this via cvs. I leave it to you :P

I'll subscrive there right now.

Also, how about sending notices to that list when new bugs are opened on 
the project page? (today I've seen it's posible in alioth)
