I emailed drobbins@gentoo.org[1] about this a few days ago, but > have not heard back. My experience ,and opinion, on the matter is (drobbins please correct me if I am mistaken or speaking out of place): 1. Demonstrate technical competence in the quality of your ebuilds submitted to bugs.gentoo.org 2. Accumulate a sufficiently significant "portfolio" of contributions to bugs.gentoo.org. A good working definition of "sufficiently significant" is that you generate enough extra work for the current developers who have to commit and maintain your contributions that they decide it would just make their life easier if you had CVS access. Of course, 2 implies 1, because if your contributions are not of high quality they will more than likely be ignored. A few very high quality and very "valuable" contributions would probably equal a greater number of "ordinary" contributions. 3. Demonstrate stamina and commitment, i.e. paying your dues in the unheralded, trenches of a "no CVS access" gentoo user. It would probably be extremely disappointing, if you were granted CVS access, only to have you disappear after a few months because you found a "cooler" or "more interesting" project or activity with which to devote your time.
