I'm the one who's sorry I have slighted you in forgetting your contributions in the patches directory. If there's really no upstream for gnus-pers.el anymore, then we could consider ourselves the maintainers and drop the tedious debian/patches method to make chnages directly in CVS. That would be simpler. I don't suppose that would change your mind? In any case, your future contributions will be appreciated if you want to keep alioth access. Let me know if that would be desirable. Elias is also interested in helping out. He could have alioth access as well. I don't think having a few interested parties can be a negative thing!
