currently open).
in our cvs (module bugz) you'll even find our migration scripts from
debbugs - dunno if the version is compatible, though.

yeah, cvs and branches. sure. *puke*
fwiw, recently i'm finding this centralized approach svn is also using
somewhat ... uhm ... restrictive: i want to commit my patches and have
them in the vcs, independently of somebody else's opinion (or the
server's availability, fwiw). say hello to arch (or, /flameshield on,
bitkeeper).

no. create a clear commit policy, and give write access to as many
people as possible. this makes the project much more responsive,
particularily for tiny things. also, the nay-sayers have to really
convince people why something will not go in, instead of just saying
(and sometimes even only thinking) "i don't like it and nobody can
commit anyway".
