As an experiement, I played a bit with Subversion, as that may be a bit
more more firewall-friendly. (It requires http + webdav/deltav.) My
idea was to run cvs2svn.py on a nightly basis on a copy of the cvs
repository (which I rdist over anyway).
Alas, it looks like the Subversion server module requires a newer
version of Apache than I have installed on bothner.com, and I'm afriad
to mess too much with it. I could upgrade to Red Hat 9, but I hoped to
skip one OS version, as it takes to do that (and fix things afterwards).

I'm not sure what "self provisioning" refers to. However, if moving the
repository over to gnu.org effectively solves the problem, that might be
worth considering.
Perhaps if you posted instruction for how to use OpenSSH with some other
small non-Kawa Savannah project, Joerg and others in the same boat could
try that. If it works, that's an argument for moving the repository.
I could write a script to generate a nightly tar file, but I don't know
how to do that except on my home server box (bothner.com), and I really
don't want to have too many people downloading from that.
