Hello everybody,
sorry for the late reply, due to real life issues I am only able to answer
today.
Your links and explanations where, what I was looking for and was missing. I guess the part Daniel highlighted, was the
part, that was tripping me up mostly. Name changes can also be a factor, of course, but usually those are visible via
`.mailmap` (not always, since sometimes the access is granted after the initial contributions and then the name change).
The latter can be resolved via Daniel's link, because there one can see the sponsors.
Anyway: thanks for your replies and answering the request in good faith.
Cheers,
Kai

This is documented here:

In a nutshell, after you've got a dozen or so patches already reviewed and
merged, you can ask the maintainers to give you access.
For avoidance of doubt, reading that link will show you that '$person
joined $company to do $thing' has nothing to do with it. Regardless if
people are doing this as their day job, as a hobby, or both, they
build up a history of good work before they ask for (and are granted)
access.
You can also see the trail here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=closed&label_name%5B%5D=Project%20Access%20Requests&first_page_size=100
Feel free to subscribe to that label if you'd like to see who gets
access when. And to follow the process to request access if you'd like
it.
Cheers,
Daniel
