Silly me, I had just added you manually to the ACLs.  Naturally, it's
more convoluted than that. :)

I don't have auth to administer that group.  Your request to join
generates an automatic message that goes to the admins, and is regen'd
every 24 hours that it is not addressed.  So, consider them bugged. :)

It's probably Elliot anyway, and he knows who you are.  AIUI,
sponsorship is a concept built into the system.  It is a "who to go to
in case this guy messes stuff up," a sort of guarantee to clean-up after
someone else's mistakes.  It seems to be enabled so far for only
cvsextras.  In other words, nothing here is mission critical enough to
require such a sponsorship chain. :)
