I wouldn't know, as the process has changed over the years, but I have to
say that I liked it when commit access requests were on the
MediaWiki.org
wiki ([[mw:Commit access requests]]) -- IMO it was a better and more
transparent way to manage commit access requests than an OTRS queue or
whatever is used nowadays; then again, I'm just giving suggestions here,

not here to make any decisions as I'm not employed by the Foundation.
The biggest problem of the old
mw.org queue was that it was simply neglected
for months at a time; my own commit access request was up there for over six
months before *anyone* looked at it *at all*. I agree that it was more
transparent and maybe 'better'; but the most important requirement of the
system is that it *works* and is used. If the OTRS queue works for the
current svn admins, then that's an important merit.
