Excellent, we wait this it for a long time.

Though his opinion and either he wants to be credited on this, will he
continue development, etc, should all be cleared out first. (IMHO)

There were quite a lot of OSystem changes since 0.7.x branch, so first
your code should be ported to current CVS.

Go usual route and use patch tracker for that. Present time there is
another port in works for AmigaOS, so you may consult

  https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=418822&aid=1181544&group_id=37116
  
on how to do it proper way. When you will get familiarize yourself
with our coding standards, and the team, you eventually will be
invited.

 > Is it best to start a temporary separate branch on CVS,
Not in this case as your code needs a review. Also we invite you to
#scummvm on freenode.net where you will meet the devteam.

For commit access yes, you have to have (a) sf.net login (b)
CVS write permissions given by one of our co-leaders.

No.
