@David: Fair enough. @Roman, @Karoly: I don't suggest any changes to the registration process. I simply suggest that we, as a community, put the foot down, and make a clear statement that mischievous registration of CVS modules and d.o. projects will be frown upon. @Darrel: I agree that "it is perfectly fair to grab your namespace, as long as you have some code or something alpha." I only object to registrations of CVS modules without fairly code or d.o. projects without any releases. @Earnie: Prevention is better than cure. But of course, even with an explicit policy against it, unfair registration of CVS modules and d.o. projects will still happen -- but hopefully less frequently than today -- and in that case the takeover of a project, as you suggest, is a way out of it. During my 2 yeas and 44 weeks as member of this community, I have closely monitored http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14. Up till recently, unfair registrations was almost never seen. But for a couple of months ago, a rush into the land of good (?) module and project names took off. Currently, it is no big deal, just a name or two every week. But I am concerned that this, in my opinion, misuse can unfold to a real problem. Maybe I am the only one who has this concern. But if not, I suggest that the CVS Usage Policy <http://drupal.org/node/103704> strongly express that registrations of CVS modules without also checking in fairly code will be frown upon, and that the Submit Project form <http://drupal.org/node/add/project_project/> strongly express that registrations of projects without also making a release node is unacceptable.
