Thanks for raising the topic About the text, maybe s/account on Alioth/Alioth account/ (but it might be crappy en_MQ speaking). About the goal, I'm not sure: we often have to decline commit access, because we don't know the person. E.g. if someone want to be part of a translation team, we'll be happy to grant commit access if it's asked by the translation coordinator, but we refuse to bypass the localization team if it exists. Likewise, if someone propose patches on the list or on the BTS, and these patches are commit quality (it might not be true on the beginning, but everyone can learn), we'll be happy to grant this person commit access. Making the click-path easier to join the Alioth group may not be the better way to welcome new contributors, pointing also to [HELP] in this part might be more interesting (maybe this part would need an update too). HELP: http://www.debian.org/devel/website/desc#help Proposed patch attached, I don't want to send the wrong message (we do want contributors), but make it clear that we don't give commit access just because someone asks. Any comment about it? I also have an uncommited patch in the beginning, don't remember who proposed it, nor why I haven't commited it already, but comment would be welcome too on this part, we could ask for help on debian-l10n-english@l.d.o once we agree on the patch content, we may copy them sooner for more feedback. Regards David
