Currently we have:

sources.redhat.com/dm/
sources.redhat.com/lvm/
sources.redhat.com/lvm2/

Each has its own page and CVSROOT.  It sounds like these are managed under a
single "group" administratively.  In the same way we want to have:

sources.redhat.com/gfs/
sources.redhat.com/bedrock/
sources.redhat.com/gnbd/
sources.redhat.com/gulm/

Each of these would have its own page and cvs tree that we'd want to import.
These four could certainly be managed under a single group as well -- they are
related to each other like the first three are.  Also, in the same way that lvm
& lvm2 share a common mailing list (linux-lvm), we'll probably want these later
four to share a common mailing list (linux-cluster or something).

(There may be one more we add to the list for the user space resource manager,
I'm not sure; it may have a home already since it's been at Red Hat for a
while.)
