lengthy period of "just send us patches" before a developer gets direct
CVS access.
Since Nagios doesn't use the patch manager on Sourceforge, getting patches
put in can be a bit tricky. Karl has been pretty responsive on getting
patches covered, but a whopper like a variable rename across all the
source files might take a bit to evaluate.
Nagios appears to be a bit more closed than most projects in that there
are only two people with CVS access. Your chances are probably not
good. I wasn't even going to ask...
All of your goals can be accomplished via patches, and you get the bonus
of running the exact version of Nagios you want locally, even if the
patches don't get put in for a while.
