You have an option of submitting the patches to the patch tracker on
savannah.gnu.org. I'm very busy now, but I'll start with applying patches
as soon as I have time for that. Keeping patches separate will make it
easier to apply them.
The problem with testing is that many bugs are not found for a long time.
Sometimes they are mistaken for missing features. Every single bug is
easy to miss, but when there are dozens of them, the probability to hit
one becomes significant.
Systematic testing and review of the code needs time and experience, and
superficial testing of CVS builds is a bad substitute for that. Anyway,
let's see if your CVS will help with improving the code quality.
