   Nope.  What do I do to get them?

I'm not familiar w/ full details these days, but i think
generally you need to ask the maintainer for them, in the
process making some convincing arguments that you will not
besmirch Emacs and GNU (by introducing or advocating non-Free
software, for example), and that your interaction w/ the project
will be a net positive.  Once swayed, the maintainer starts the
paperwork process (which might involve snail mail), and If All
Goes Well, you will be notified one day.

Another way is to fork Emacs, or find a way to get write privs
on an existing fork.  That resolves the write privs issue, but
raises coordination/synchronization issues.  I was about to say
"not recommended", but on second thought, hey why not?  I can
imagine inter-repo hacking being fruitful and fun, too (YMMV).

   Nobody gave them to me.

   What should be the workflow once I have them?  I assume that
   I branch off fresh master, push my branch and write here -
   correct?

See file CONTRIBUTE.
