For accounts, freedesktop.org are just a very low-value proxy to the
actual project owners. The reason your bug hasn't been acted on is
that it needs to have someone from X.Org say 'yes, this is fine and
Kevin should have commit access to all our repositories'.

Often the process is to start sending out patches, e.g. to fix these
compilation warnings for the other DDXes, and after a few have been
merged and both sides have built up some confidence then you apply for
direct commit access.

Cheers,
Daniel
