there's no holding any CVS owner from creating as many new modules

object to it. I'm VERY sure this would be different if they HAD TO post
to the dev list first before being able to create their projects. Again,
I suggested very reasonable and easily implementable suggestions that no
one has really addressed directly yet. If my idea is a problem then I
would like to someone to point the drawbacks. Seeing that this will only
affect people who already have a CVS account then please don't use the
"barrier" argument as a response.

If adding modules to Drupal.org becomes too difficult, people will not
bother and will just host them elsewhere, in a dozen different
elsewhere's. That's the worst possible scenario, and if anything would
make duplication worse because there wouldn't even be a single
collection to check for existing modules.
