First read the HACKING file in the CVS source tree. The contrib directory seems to be for this kind of stuff. I'd like to see the cvs2cl Perl script go in there too. I'd guess that you'd need documentation and unit tests integrated with the rest of CVS, just like any other patch, along with a willingness to maintain it in the distribution.

I have tested it rather well :) The stuff can be found at http://cvs.sslug.dk/cvs2html/ Would I be possible to get this into the standard CVS package? Who decides this?
