Dear Hans, I've been writing patches to pix_opencv, a tiny one that was already incorporated, and the other which is more significant but is taking time from Lluis to be applied.
I was going to wait until I sent you some larger patches, however, I wonder if I could get commit access already since the patch tracker scheme is taking unnecessary time from people (both from you and from users that take long to see the changes). Perhaps I could be in a watch period where I email you & the responsible externals person every single commit that I make. Anyways, I am also perfectly OK with having to wait longer. I just would like you to know about the situation.
