I checked my core archives and I don't see a request from you or a sponsor for
access to the tree.  I also have no outstanding requests for commit access for
anyone else.  Please don't presume that requests sent to core are given the 
'cold shoulder'.  It is innappropriate for you to do so and at worst, quite
insulting.
