Description
The Branch I am trying to submit "(DRUPAL-5)" for the Forest Floor theme does not appear to be on the "submit project page." There is just one branch called "DRUPAL-5 (5.x-1.x-dev)" but that is the head branch.
http://drupal.org/project/Forest_Floor
Any suggestions as to what to do?

#1
You can only have one 5.x-1.x-dev release. It has already been created at http://drupal.org/node/253004
If you want to do development in the DRUPAL-5 branch instead of HEAD, you will need to edit the release node and you will be able to move it from HEAD to the DRUPAL-5 branch.
Please refer to http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/quickstart for further details.

In that case please can someone with the appropriate permissions edit the version string in http://drupal.org/node/253004 so that it is recognised as a stable version, now that I have changed it to the DRUPAL-5 branch. I plan on using the HEAD branch for development of a drupal-6 version.
Thanks,
Alan

As is your 5.x-1.x dev release at http://drupal.org/node/253004 is based on the DRUPAL-5 branch, so by its very nature it is not a "stable" release since the tarball that can be downloaded will be updated every time you commit code to your DRUPAL-5 branch. What you probably want to do is to create an official release for Drupal 5 of your theme. To do that, you'll need to create a tag in CVS called DRUPAL-5--1-0, for example. Once you do that, you need to then add another release, and base the release off of this new tag. Once the packaging script next runs, you'll have an official release based of this tag.
You can continue to use HEAD for development of the Drupal 6 version of your theme.
Also, in order to get any of these packages to show up on the project page for your theme, you need to go into http://drupal.org/node/252622/edit/releases and make sure the settings are as you wish.
