Ara is himself here to help :-)

I'm involved in a project that probably (90%) will use Hibernate. So
I'll have to use it myself and be sure I can't resist contributing to
open source projects :-) So wherever the module ends up in I'll
contribute. I think it's better for it to live in hibernate's cvs.

Btw, as described previously in xdoclet-devel we'll probably set up a
smart distributed module build system using Maven in xdoclet2. So you'll
host the module in hibernate's cvs, but we'll checkout it, build it and
bundle it and even test it. This way we'll be able to keep an eye on
what's going on in remotely hosted modules and still keep it separated.
