[Mesa-dev] [Bug 95020] a bug asking for an account

--- Comment #6 from Kenneth Graunke <kenneth at whitecape.org> ---
The AccountRequests page describes the mechanics of how to sign up for a
freedesktop.org account.  As Emil said, these aren't usually granted without a
project lead granting you commit access to their repository.

freedesktop.org hosts gstreamer, libreoffice, pulseaudio, spice, telepathy,
vaapi, wayland, xorg, and many others.  Each project has their own criteria for
granting commit access.

For Mesa, this means participating on the mailing list (and ideally IRC), and
sending and reviewing patches.  Once new contributors have established
themselves as contributors, people are generally more than happy to provide
commit access.  Many major free software projects work this way.

I don't understand the basis for saying "My patches will not be accepted" - it
doesn't look like you've tried to submit any yet :)  So, how do you know?

Perhaps more to the point: why do you want an account?  What do you need it
for?
