Christopher,

The second step is done and waiting. I've broken up the patch into
seven smaller ones (which, ironically, no longer apply cleanly
because different patches patch adjoining lines), applied the patches
against the CVS sources as of last Friday, and even fixed a bug in my
changes. However, I've yet to receive the assignment form from Jim,
and I can't find a copy on the Web anywhere. I think I'm supposed to
receive a copy of request-assign.changes, but everything I've seen
tells me that only project maintainers have access to it.
