It goes like:
| == Obtaining update privileges ==
|
| Update privileges are available to anyone who wishes to participate in

| To obtain update privileges, you need to send a request to the Debian

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..." . It has been
difficult for me.

This URL may be good to add there.
Maybe, http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs#obtaining needs some updates. Any
volunteer who can come up with text?
