Yes, it's possible, commits would show as coming from
<svn_username>@mplayerhq.hu, but the problem is that these email
addresses are not subscribed and thus the commit mails get rejected.  So
for now I've made it come from the old CVS commit address.

Guillaume, maybe you could look into solving this in mailman, maybe
allow everybody to post from mplayerhq.hu or if the mail comes from
localhost or something.
