The repository is administered by CBIL, who hosts the project on behalf of
the GUS community.

The best thing to do here is email the list with an outline of what you're
working on and your thoughts.  This way, others will know what's going on,
and you can collaborate as appropriate.  If you don't already have commit
access, it will also be granted as needed upon request.

All commits are reviewed through the commits mailing list, but it's an
informal process.  Basically, the only thing I can anticipate being refused
is either very poor code or a niche need that has negative side effects for
the community.

I'm not sure about this, but I doubt it.  I don't think anyone has
significantly altered the code locally.

Are you identifying areas that don't meet your needs?  Perhaps you can
highlight some of your findings in evaluating GUS to the community, and we
can provide feedback and coordinate or points for collaboration.

Thanks,

Mike
