Sounds strange. Everybody have write permissions to pkgsrc CVS tree?
And yes, i'd like to contribute (and probably maintain) some packages
to pkgsrc repository. At least this one
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=33203
http://freshmeat.net/projects/dictem

But now, it will be good if my reports will be fixed, at least this one
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=33232 ;)

I know, but most packages are maintained by @netbsd team.  It is
strange because pkgsrc is claimed as a portable packaging system
(excellent idea IMO). This is probably because pkgsrc's user base is
very limited.
