Yey!

The mentioned script, cswrepo -- is it something that's planned or
already implemented?

IIRC, There was talk about two scripts. One for the maintainers,
something which would copy the ready packages into an appropriate
place (bender:/home/newpkgs or equivalent) and format e-mails to the
release manager. The one for the release manager would help the
release manager do his thing, whatever that is. Trygve was interested
in what steps are taken when a package is being released, in terms of
updating information in various places (databases, files, etc).
