Its access is documented at
http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs
(Uses of both "svn" and "git-svn" are documented.)

Text are proposed by filing a bug report to "release-notes". It is
forwarded to debian-doc@lists.debian.org
The above mentioned Subversion repository is a part of DDP thus you need
to be alioth "Debian Documentation". Its unix group name is "ddp".
How it works, see recent debian-doc mailing list activity.
(Can someone document this in nice English?)
As for acess request, you need to join from
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ddp/
(Click right lower part stating "Request to join".)
For DD, basically when I see mail, I add them. For non-DD, they have to
explain rationale etc. concisely. Pretty low barrier at this moment.

Reminder to me: http://ddp.alioth.debian.org/ This page content is
somewhat confusing and outdated. This needs to be updated.
The old CVS is not used any more.
