Alright.. let's assume that someone puts a gun to my head and makes me
do what you are saying above (I don't see any other reason I would want
to do that).. and I delete all CVS and downloadable files on sf.net.
The good news is, many people have a checked out copy of the CVS.. so
they can put those files together again. I would also probably want to
find a good palce to hide (as I'm sure there will be some _very_ angry
people after me ;)

As far as your 'sale' scenario.. well, that can be said of any programmer
for any project.. nothing specific to me ;)

Oh really? I made it! Heheh.. well, the number of commits don't really
reflect the highest commitment necessarily.. it is one of the many
factors.
