im slowly starting to give an help to drupal project (
), now, after several patches released, i'm just wondering how to directly commit to cvs tree my fixes (since i'm interested in a module that seems disbanded and without mantainer...no one tha commits my patches)...

Compare to other CMS, I feel Drupal system for developer to upload/maintenance their module/theme is not user friendly. Why use CVS? Why not create a web based storage/repository?
Also, what we commit on CVS not directly affect to Drupal project page, need several hours.

To: The.Clue, to commit CVS you must have "commit access". Please contact the module ownership, he/she can give you the "commit access".

ie Do you have a cvs account? Do you know how CVS works and just want the Drupal specific stuff? Or do you need to learn CVS from scratch?

but here are the main CVS docs:
http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs
specifically:
http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/projects

Do you have any more specific questions?

Note: to get permission to commit to someone elses abandoned project without them giving it to you, you'll need to convince the infrastructure team and/or CVS admins that you can't get hold of the old maintainer and want to be the new maintainer. But it is best to contact the old maintainer and ask them to let you take it over.
