Sounds reasonable.

In that case, Stephe, you can host your scripts on Ada-France's
monotone server if you like. Anything is better than email, IMHO :) If
you'd like that, drop me a line.

PS. Monotone has a nice feature called "trust". You can set up hooks
that will filter revisions based on who committed them (or other
arbitrary criteria), and make them invisible to "update" and other
commands if you don't trust these committers. A trusted committer can
then "approve" a revision to make it visible. What's nice about it is
that the "trust" feature is outside the database, and can be set up
differently in each working copy; the database always contains all
revisions, and each user can choose which revisions to trust.
