One thing before I add your name to owners.epel.list: Can you please
mail the XV owner (see
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/owners/owners.list?root=nonfree&view=...
) what his plans regarding support for EL are? Maybe he wants to take
care of it himself.
OK, will do.

No, the Wiki is open to all users that created an account.
I created a PackageList page with links to the repoview index pages for
each repo. Some things I noticed:
1. Repoview for F10 says it's "Development" rather than "Fedora
10"
2. The updates repos for Fedora 10 and EL5 are empty and don't have
repoview indexes. Does repoview not behave sanely in empty repos?
3. The main release repos for Fedora 8, Fedora 9, and EL5 are empty,
with all of the content being in the updates repos. Is this ever likely
to change?

Done.
Thanks.

Will do.
Still seem to be blocked:
[paul@metropolis nonfree]$ echo $CVS_RSH $CVSROOT
ssh :ext:pghmcfc@cvs.rpmfusion.org:/cvs/nonfree
[paul@metropolis nonfree]$ cvs co xv
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages
if any)
[paul@metropolis nonfree]$ date --utc

Can you drop me a line when this should be working as I don't want to
keep retrying - that's what got me blocked in the first place.
Cheers, Paul.
