I am working on DRM/KMS drivers with MESA as user space library.
I would appreciate if you could create an account for me.

Thank you,
Mircea

Can you clarify what projects you're looking to get access for?  For just maintaining personal repositories, I recommend github (it's what I use).  To commit directly to the Mesa project, we look for a history of contributions through the mailing list, first.

Sorry for late reply:
I understand this is the drm official repo:
git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux

Last time we cherry-picked changes from above repo ahead of official merge.
Cloning the drm-next branch seems is not always possible.

Cloning into 'linux'...
fatal: read error: Connection timed out

Cloning into 'linux'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/': server certificate verification failed.

I do not consider myself experienced enough to have a sustained contribution to the drm drivers, but having visibility to the git repo in  a read-only mode would help.

If the administration policy does not allow the access, please feel free to close this ticket.

Thank you,
Mircea

The git:// and https:// links are public and everyone can pull from it. I guess you have a weird setup, especially if the certificate of fd.o is invalid for you.

Cheers,
Martin

Unfortunately, we don't grant accounts to just have read access via SSH. people.freedesktop.org does have a valid TLS certificate, so it seems there is something strange going on: maybe you have a proxy intercepting the request? You could look into disabling certificate verification perhaps, though this would of course be at your own risk.
