The domain module is great module for running a group of affiliated sites from one Drupal installation and a single shared database. But if you have a site with several subsites each have their own set of nodes, you will get a lot of page not found errors. Together with Ibn al-Hazardous I wrote a module to solve this problem. See drupal.org/node/255711. Agentrickard, the maintainer of Domain Access, agrees with the functionality but will not take this module into his set of domain modules and asked to make it a separate module.
Currently we have a D5 and a D6 version "published" in above node.

I got an first e-mail: We are sorry to inform you that your CVS account request has been declined due to: you are referring to an existing module.
Indeed I am referring to an existing module. The current maintainer doesn't want to maintain the new module and wants it to be a separate module. He will make a reference to this module because it extends the features of Domain Access. This situation is not mentioned in http://drupal.org/cvs-application/requirements, to which you are referring.
Other Domain Access modules, with extended features, do have their own maintainers, that's why I am requesting to become a maintainer for this module and not a co-maintainer.

Your second e-mail states: I would like to fix bugs I find as I go or add new features to existing modules. The correct way to leave feedback for a module is to use the patch issue/queue system.
I did read this sentence and we did use the issue/queue system. See node/255771 - mentioned already above - issue date May 7, 2008. Several people have the same problem as you can read from this issue, but the current maintainer doesn't want to solve it , also not after receiving the solution of the problem.
I understand the Drupal community doesn't want to have explode the number of modules and maintainers. To become a maintainer is not my first choice, but if the current maintainer doesn't want to solve a common problem (for a subset of users?) what should I do then?
