CVS account approvals are having all sorts of problems because it is not well documented that patches are one of the core ways to include code in the Drupal core and contrib.
The top of the patches page (http://drupal.org/node/22568) needs to be re-written to describe how/when to use patches to contribute to code development.

CVS access to the core and contrib repositories is available to all users on an anonymous basis. A CVS account is only required and generally only approved for one of the following reasons:
If you are interested in the status of your application and/or have been rejected and would like to discuss further, please use the contact form to get in touch. Please note: due to high demand, it may take as much as 1 week to have your CVS account approved or denied.
