Chad, I think you can go ahead and cvs commit if tests pass on
your side. It is generally understood that there may be bugs and
missing documentation in the first place, that's not a problem at
all. Just commit then people can check it out (and run e.g. the
tests on their side).

Sounds good as far as I'm up-to-date.

Sounds OK.
