i think theres no formal and documented process
before git everyone got write access pretty much automatically because
with svn direct write access is pretty much neccessary to reasonably
work.
With git its the opposit, direct write access isnt neccessary,
people can just work in their own repository and ask for a merge.
And as a project gets larger more people having direct write access
tends to cause more problems. For example i dont think the linux kernel
would be possible if every linux developer would push directly.

To awnser your question, i think sending me a private mail was the
most common way by which ffmpeg maintainers/developers asked for
direct write access since we use git
