How about:

"Once we have this information we will set up an account on
<code>gcc.gnu.org</code> and inform you by mail. At this point you should
check out a tree with SVN using the instructions below and add yourself
to the MAINTAINERS file.  Having done this, you should produce a diff to
this file and circulate it to the <code>gcc-patches<code> list, whilst also
checking in your change to test write access.  For all other changes, please
be sure to follow the write access policies below."
