Anyone can import their own project under the Swarm `brand' to the 
Savannah CVS and work without constraint provided they aren't holding 
back crucial source code to users.  To the current Swarm code base, yes, 
there is some code review (I watch for mistakes) but mainly the tree is 
quiescent. 

The point is that a single capable volunteer actually working would soon 
eclipse anything else happening with the SDG and both make their 
preferences irrelevant while most-likely changing these preferences at 
the same time.  I would certainly do my best to persuade the SDG to 
support such a person, and I have. Those individuals, except perhaps 
until recently, have not existed.
