You have to be an active committer to the FreeBSD project, which
means you have to first get people inside the project who like
your work, and who have the time to mentor you so you know all
the rules of being a FreeBSD committer.

You should not "need" a freebsd.org address for working with any
FreeBSD person.  If you do, then *that* person should be guiding
you through the process of becoming a committer, or providing you
with some other kind of access if you need special access in
order to work with them.
