It goes like: | == Obtaining update privileges == | | Update privileges are available to anyone who wishes to participate in | writing the manuals. We generally request that you have submitted a | couple of useful patches first. | | To obtain update privileges, you need to send a request to the Debian | documentation mailing list. Please explain why you need access. Please | indicate your Alioth login name. Once your request is approved, you'll | be part of the ddp project (and Unix group) on Alioth. It is good to send mail to debian-doc mailing list but more practically, it is good idea to sign-up to project via web page. https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ddp/ When doing so, I think followings needs to be provided: * people needs to write in English (I have seen some other languages) * people need to to explain why you need access. * people need to to explain why you can claim you qualify for it. If it is too much to write in web form, you post these to debian-doc mailing list and mention there as "See debian-doc ML". People has send me request just stating "I want to join ... blah..." .

Maybe, http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs#obtaining needs some updates.
