I agree with Kris. These days it is not a big problem, especially for
an opensource project, such as UUCP. Most obvious possibility is a
Sourceforge - it provides all what is necessary (i.e. cvs repo, bug
tracking database, mailing lists, www space, ftp space etc) at zero
cost. And in my view it is even better option than /usr/src, because
it is much easier to allow interested people to have r/w access to
that private repo.

C'mon Terry, don't allow your personal attachment to this old piece
of software drive you dipper and dipper into this mostly pointless
discussion.
