I was following or even tried to follow those instructions.
Unfortunately the CVSSyncNeeded page was either much too obvious, I am
too brain dead or a mixture of both, so that I didn't see what to do
exacty. With help from Elliot in IRC I now see that the wiki is not only
the place of the documentation but too used for Fedora processes, such
like the branch creation request log.
While talking to Elliot he was so kind and created the FC3 and FC4
branches for pam_abl for me.
As pam_abl was reviewed and approved by Oliver Falk last Friday based on
the src.rpm, there seems to be no real reason why another review is
required now based on CVS info. At least I did understand Elliot in this
way. So if nobody protests I will soon request a build for devel, FC4
and FC3.

Ok, http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/BuildRequests is clear
about this aspect.

When I get another package into CVS and I am feeling that most of my
questions are not questionable any longer I will try to make some
remarks about where I stumbled first time.

Thank you Michael.
