I can't access CVS for about a year now. Could someone please fix this for me?
After much searching I think I have finally found the problem:
http://lists.drupal.org/archives/development/2006-01/msg00063.html
I already tried contacting Dries, but I would expect he is too busy to solve this, altough he does ask to contact him himself. But can anyone please help me solve this because I can't do anything and have been send from here to there. The problem seems clearly shown in the link, so can anyone fix this? Thank you.

A few hoops to jump through
Hi there,
Alot has happened with CVS and projects since 6 Jan 2006. In order to re-aquire cvs access you need to do a couple of things.

Hi, thanks for the
Hi, thanks for the directions.
1. Before 6 Jan 2006 I used CVS on the donations.module (http://drupal.org/node/16484) which is stuck at 4.6 on the Drupal site because of the CVS troubles. I had not yet made any commit to another module/theme/translation back then.
2. OK I'm off to http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/projects and getting me a new CVS account so I can make a few people happy again!
Test
OK, the account request is now approved. However, you'll need to make sure that you can access your project correctly. Since Jan 2006, CVS has been updated so that only module maintainers can commit to their own projects (or their delegated users). So you need to check that your new CVS account will work with the donations module.
Please check-out the module and them perform a test commit. If it fails, please get back to us.
I should mention again that alot has happened with drupal.org CVS facilities over the last year (release nodes, release tags, commit restrictions, etc) so it may well be of use to read the docs in the CVS handbook to find out what's new.
