The end of http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html has:

==== 
   Once you start working on projects in the GNOME CVS repository,
   you may eventually need to get write access to the repository. If
   you want to start a new module, you should send your name, email
   address, a description of your project and why you think it should
   be in GNOME CVS to cvsmaster gnome org  You will also need to
   supply a login name and crypted password. (You can generate a
   crypted password with the cryptit Perl script.) If you want to work
   on an existing module, you should instead send this information to
   the maintainer of the module and ask them to forward it to
   cvsmaster.
