Who can get a CVS account?

Anyone that has a reason to :-)

Seriously, the only requirements are that you have an account on the GSRC website and are working on a software development project that is located on the GSRC CVS server.

There are two types of cvs access:

Read-only anonymous access accounts -
If read-only access is available, then the workgroup administrator for you project will tell you that it is available and how to get access.

Read/write named access accounts -
See Getting a CVS account

If you are or intend to be working on a software project that doesn't yet have a CVS repository on the GSRC server, then by all means request a login (if you don't already have one), and then request a group so that your project can start using the GSRC infrastructure. All that we require is that at least one person actively working on the project has a bona-fide connection to the GSRC in some way.
