[Rivet] Work for Rivet 2.4.0 release: call for contributions!

[Xavier Janssen]

Hi Andy,

Wrt the list of analysis of new CMS plugins you are quoting, I’d like to understand what happened with CMS_2013_I1122847 
that was submitted (by Lars/Albert before I took over from them) in February and was not included in 2.3.0.

Cheers, Xavier.

Several of these new ones aren't, so intervention from root will needed to move them to the pre2.4.0 dir when we make it. Also, the email notifications about new tarballs seem to be broken (right?)
