Fine with me.

I could try to allocate some time for this although I can't promise
anything.

I won't be able to work with the Darcs repository, though.  I've spent
some quality time a few months ago to get it to work with Windows and
didn't succeed and I won't do it again.  I have better things to do in
my spare time.  If you're able to provide tarballs like ViewCVS does,
that won't be a problem, though.
