Good to have both of you here. Hopefully the content under "Contribute back to the community" at http://www.apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html can get you started.
Write access to the ASF source code repository is granted by a process that requires some history of contribution to a project, so for the time being, anyone new to contributing to log4net that doesn't already have an Apache account will need to work by reviewing bugs and submitting patches (checkout the source code using Subversion, look at a bug, add test cases, write a fix, do a "svn diff" to produce a difference between your final and starting version and upload) to JIRA which is basically how almost all people with Apache accounts earned their Apache accounts. If bugs in JIRA have good test cases and patches, we will come up with some set of people with existing Apache credentials to act as mentors who will review the patches and commit them. Our current situation is those with the itch don't have the keys and those with the keys don't have the itch (or they have too many other itches and haven't been able to get around to this particular itch).
