Not if you use "M" from Emacs PO-mode: it does everything with TPRobot
itself ;-)

The problem here is that shared-mime-info is, uhm, *shared* MIME data
between all desktop projects which abide by freedesktop.org
"rules". If it's in Gnome CVS, others don't have access to it, though
they do use it.
This is unlike Gstreamer which is almost exclusively used by Gnome
and/or Gnome applications.

Yes, that's also true, but because of the point above, that's the job
one has to do (also, don't forget that many maintainers/developers
don't like translators having write access to their trees at all, but
in Gnome, they must live with that :-).

This is impossible for several reasons.
First of all, I don't think CVS provides for such fine-grained access
control. Next, what little access control it provides is used to
divide all the CVSROOT's into separate 'access domains', so you
wouldn't have access to CVS of all the software on Savannah (or other
Sourceforge like site) if you get access to one.
What you'd like is to have access across all CVS repositories in
Savannah, what I think is hard to implement. And no, I don't consider
adding all translators as project members to all projects
automatically as a valid solution ;-)
