No problem. Just mail me a list of the developers and the name of the "project" and I'll set it up for you. Things are pretty hectic right now and I haven't automated this process, so it may take a couple days for me to get it done. > Is there a way to restrict the people who can write to the repositroy > part of one package?

Somebody is free to take it if they want. I think you overestimate the amount of bandwith used, though. Unless we're archiving the entire source tree with all developers using it, I sincerely doubt there will be any problems.
