	The easiest thing to do is to make a public mirror of your archive.  
The changeset format is good as long as it doesn't conflict with other 
changes (this changeset is conflicting with the previous changes I got 
from you).  It's still not the way to do distributed development, 
though.  It's more like applying classic patch sending from a 
centralized revision control system into a decentralized revision 
control system.  It's sort of working against the grain, if you will.

	Would it be an option for you to mirror your archive to some web space 
somewhere?  Once that's done, people can decide to include your changes 
directly from your archive, branch your archive, star-merge it into 
integration trees (or the ``main'' tree), or whatever.  It also means 
you don't have to worry about playing with tla changes and tarring and 
attaching and all that stuff.  You just commit and mirror.  The commit 
and mirror is a one-step process if you store your archive in a web 
space or use a hook like the one that I've got to trigger a mirror on 
commit.
