The preferred mechanism is to have patch files attached to bug reports at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX. The roles at Apache are described at http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles. Being granted commit rights to the SVN repo generally requires a substantial period of contribution via bug reports and the mailing list before a vote by the project management committee and the execution of a signed individual contributor license agreement (ICLA).
