Joining the foundation is an excellent suggestion. But I don't think
foundation membership and freedesktop.org accounts are tied together
at all yet. The freedesktop.org account-request process is described
here:

	http://freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests

Making it smoother to apply for both simultaneously does seem useful,
but the two things currently have very different requirements, (X.org
membership has address, membership agreement, and public/application
statements while freedesktop.org account requires both ssh and gpg
keys).

Maybe this is the step where Bart meant to be pointing to the
AccountRequests URL above?

I think we probably do still need good instructions on setting up a
personal git repository. I can write something up, (I've even done
that before, but never got it published to a good reference place
yet).

What's that and why would it be needed?

I take the stance of just not accepting anything unless it has the
project's standard license headers, and also has the author's
copyright statement at the top, (for any new files or substantial
modifications). For minor changes to a few lines, I don't require any
new copyright attribution, but I also don't mind if the author adds
it.
