Yes, definitely, but not just yet :-). Please remember the offer for the 
future though :-).

The CVS servers can remain at Red Hat (no reason not to), and the 
assignment is an orthogonal issue from that anyway. I'm sorry there hasn't 
been much movement here, but you'll have to believe me when I say there's 
a good reason!

I do agree there needs to be a resolution in this area, and it is being 
worked on, but (out of necessity) away from the public gaze.
