I submitted one ages ago and it was approved. Sorry that I've not been 
in IRC for ages, just lots to deal with outside of computer-land these 
days. For the record it took about a year and a half for the group 
registration to go through. AFAIK I now have overriding rights and 
control of the channels (although it's not shown in access).

If anyone needs anything added or changed (including hostmasks) just 
email me.
