Yes, that has a very high neatness factor.  `B i' could be used to
import new versions of the file.  Well, `nncvs-request-accept-article'
would simply check the new version in, actually, so it would work as a
normal mail backend, seen from the point of view of the user.  In
fact, once the new mail splitting is in effect (which will allow
people to split to several backends), one could simply split off, say,
FAQs and other such stuff one gets in the mail to the appropriate
nncvs group and things would happen automagically.

Yes.  I think this has to be done.  I've now added it to the todo
list.
