The more I think about this, the more I recognize that I'm not really adding any value to this process. While I would really like to put more time/energy into tvtime, I just don't have the time and it appears I'm actually slowing down a community of contributors who are trying to move things forward. At this point I would recommend the LinuxTV community just take over the project, give yourself write access to the main repo, and spin a release. I would indeed recommend calling it 1.10, to prevent confusion with the various vendor branches where I believe some of which may actually already be calling themselves 1.03. Regarding expanding the list of individuals with commit rights, I might suggest keeping the list of write privileges for the main repo to a minimum in the short term (starting with yourself), until developers have demonstrated their ability to author coherent patches which won't cause breakage as well as the ability to review the work of others.
