There was a call a long while ago.  If people wanted to get on priority
1 list they had to speak up then.  Guess GIMP did.  Plus, I think, GIMP
gets a lot of commits from a lot of people and they wanted to keep the
most number of people working early on.

You can do stuff, you just can't commit it.  You can still create
patches and such off the CVS tree (which can be applied once SVN comes
up).  AFAIK, there is no way to switch a working copy from CVS to SVN,
you'll have to check it out again (which is going to be much fun with
jhbuild ;) ).
