goody! how do we get this set up? I'm not too familiar with all SF
services, just lurker & subscriber.

OK. Makes sense for bigger changes but for one-line quickies it probably
takes longer to open the request, assign it to me, fix the problem and
close the feature than to just do it. :)

If you really want to make sure you don't miss anything for the release
notes you can use WinCVS to automagically generate a ChangeLog; I've used
this in the past and it's really handy. There is also a standalone Perl
utility that does this called cvs2cl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl)
