Yes, commit access to Parrot's Git repository requires developer status 
in the project. If you'd like to apply, the best way to start is by 
subscribing to the mailing list and hanging out on the IRC channel, to 
get familiar with the kinds of work Parrot needs help with.

But, it's a good idea to set up source control on the full packages 
anyway. I'm happy to grant you access on Alioth to start importing older 
packages. I'd prefer Subversion, Bazaar, Mercurial, or Git over CVS, 
because of the more modern features. Alioth offers all those options. 
Any preferences from anyone here likely to contribute?

While we're at it, we'll need some conventions for how we'll collaborate 
on the source control, something like:

http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html

If we use Subversion, we could just adopt a simplified version of that 
one. Or, if someone wants to draft new conventions, we can talk through 
them as a group and decide what works for us.
