Best is to try the DVC's mailing list. I'm CC-ing it (it's a moderated
list for non-subscribers, your messages will take some time).

I used to be an active DVC contributor, but by lack of time, I didn't
follow closely recent development. I'm not sure Emacs 21 is still
supported (and at least, it's not well tested since most developers
run Emacs 22 themselves).
