Either the authorized_key or a gate keeper can be used.

after solving the usual python issues I have cscvs working nicely here
as well. I am in the progress of setting up a tla version of the
repository that is publicly available on openbios.org. It will also be
fed into the repository browser viewarch 

Which one are you using? I have:
hun at n-dimensional.de--2005-public/cscvs--hun--1.2

Let the public import finish and then have a look at the repository on
openbios.org. There you can play and find out if you like it.
