This doesn't seem to answer the question of how one gets the necessary access to do these things. Does Grant just ask? Do we nominate him?
Infrastructure works the same way as any other part of the ASF: it's a meritocracy. You start by joining the infrastructure list, which is open to any ASF committer, and, as Ted described, start helping out however you can. Just as with other projects, access comes with merit, and merit grows as you continue to contribute.
As far as getting migrated to SVN, I'd suggest pinging the infrastructure list, either directly or via a comment on the Jira issue.

In general, the process of becoming productive here is the same as for many open source projects: hang around, figure out what needs doing, figure out how to do it, then do it. Answering questions from users, filing jira entries and otherwise helping maintain the bug database, writing documentation (www.apache.org/dev/) stuff like that. Hang out on #asfinfra. You'll probably see lots of places where stuff needs doing soon enough :-D

Does anyone know how to go about applying ? I would volunteer, having a couple of decades of unix system administration experience. I have also just recently converted our own internal CVS to SVN.
Maybe Ted could enlighten us how to proceed (as usual, thanks Ted !!)

I second the motion to get this done as soon as possible. I guess we'll need a code freeze while the conversion takes place ?
For those of you using Intellij IDEA, the latest EAP build (3311) handles Subversion perfectly and also runs under JDK 1.5.0_02.

When are we thinking about the SVN conversion? It might be nice to do this some weekend soon. The sooner we get that done the sooner we can discuss sandbox and some other ideas.
