Okay, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.  However, CVS is
what's being used right now so if you're really willing to help a
great way to start would be to learn CVS and see if you can manage a
release branch of the current code.  Once you manage to do that
successfully and show that you're contributing to the project instead
of just whining about how it should be changed people will probably be
more receptive to your suggestions for changes.  Hell, if you learn
CVS and work on managing a branch you would then have access to pull a
copy over to subversion yourself and show people how much better you
think it is.

Sometimes the best way to get changes made is to start doing it the
way people want you to and then physically show them how much better
your way is.  At the very least that will stop the replies of "quit
whining and actually do something".
