Hi Zak, In general commit access isn't given to people without a good patch history. Please work on that first - send your patches to the mailing list, get them reviewed/accepted. Once things are looking good please reopen the bug and attach a valid gpg public key, visible in public key servers (like pgp.mit.edu). That way admins can set you up. Thanks

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?

Nanley Chery (nanleychery@gmail.com) obtained an account without prior submission of good patches: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90457#c3

A new "atomsymbol" branch in mesa-git could be created. The code could be reviewed from there, using whatever tool the reviewer prefers to do so. The code in the branch could be merged into mesa-git-master at any point in time you prefer.

I'm afraid that's not going to go nicely.

Not sure if that's due to my unintentional misspelling of your name. If so apologies, I never meant to offend. If you just want to have an argument this might not be the best one.

Why would I accept a slower way if there exists a faster way?

Note that patches are normally submitted and reviewed via the mesa-dev list. Even for those who have fd.o accounts. If you just need a git tree, there is github and various other git hosting sites.. fd.o is not a github.

Your demand is therefore > void. 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. > > - send your patches to the mailing list, get them reviewed/accepted. > > They won't be accepted. 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.

The Mesa docs regarding getting a git account are out of date. I'm posting update to the docs for review.
