Okay. Supposing that you are yourself a member of that community and its issue(a)texjp.org mailing list, no separate upload permission for you will be needed: Just submit giving "issue(a)texjp.org" as the email address. Please tell me what you think of these suggestions, and then I will go ahead with the installation. Best wishes Petra -- Please send messages to ctan(a)ctan.org in English only.
