How does one become a pd dev with cvs access? I'm used to ASF policy on this (by vote), but even though I've been using PD for yonks, never found out.
We don't have a policy.
In the past it normally worked like this: Someone of the current developers suggests to add a new developer whom (s)he knows. This is announced here and if no one speaks up against the new developer for a certain time, like 1-3 days, then some of the maintainers who has a bit of time ATM adds this developer to the developer list. Of course is the new dev is really new, that is, never posted something to the list, has no code to show or whose name doesn't ring a bell at all, then this might take more time. But so far the new developers were generally active here before.
So it's based on a vague concept of trust, which you earn by being active here or by already knowing some of the current developers.
This is not a policy at all, it's just the way it has been so far. And so far it has worked quite okay, I think.
