<p>
I disagree here!<br>
Normally there is one person who works on a backend.<br>
It is not a good idea if anyone has write-access to<br>
the backends.<br>
If someone else wants to change anything on a backend,<br>
he should mail his patch to the author of the backend.<br>
<p>
In most cases only the backend author is familiar enough<br>
with the backend, so he has to check a patch at first before<br>
it gets into the offical source!<br>
<p>
I think it could be good if the backend authors would<br>
update their part in CVS!<br>
But in fact there is no great advantage because a user needs<br>
a recent sane version and has to update the backend he<br>
uses, so there is not much more work than getting the CVS version!<br>
