It does mention that requests must be approved by the project. Part of Mesa's
criteria for gaining access to be able to commit to the Mesa tree is that you
have a good track record of contributions, in the form of patches which are
accepted, and a willingness to work with the community.

This is part of building the trust required in order to have the privilege of
being able to commit to a repository which is widely used and trusted within
the open-source community.

If you don't believe your patches will be accepted, then commit access to the
repository is not going to further your goals.

Getting an account is part of the process of being able to commit code
directly. In order to do so, the requirement is to proceed as a normal
community member and build trust. If you are unwilling to do this, or do not
wish to integrate your code but simply wish to host a separate external fork of
code, there are many other hosting services such as GitHub, or thanks to Git's
distributed nature, you can even host your own repository.
