It is always the best idea to directly contact the module maintainers, and ask for permission to commit changes and additions, and/or bring your patches to their attention. I for one have been (and I am) quilty of not doing much maintanance on modules showing up as maintained by me, but in case I see some positive takeover offer, I mostly grant and let the module evolve. Since project module is an integral part of the Drupal project, and is heavily used on drupal.org, it is a different matter however. Anyway, you need to contact the maintainer(s) directly.
With all due respect , I would have thought posting issues in the bug database against the project module and then, when that didn't work, posting to the devel mailing list here would be sufficient to at least attract someone's attention.
Well, it often doesn't. Especially if the maintainer is bogged down with other work.
What with all the hoops I need to jump through just to get a couple of minor patches submitted to the project module, I'm beginning to feel that the effort outweighs the benefits. I will endeavour to contact the module maintainers, but if anyone else get's the time to review the patches or, failing that, review my CVS access submission, I would be most grateful.
I will have a look as time permits. I don't have much time, though. Cheers, Gerhard
