There's two paths forward for you.

If you are selected for GSoC, you'll have our gsoc svn repo available.

The other option is to fork from http://www.github.org/freebsd/freebsd
using git.

The way that commits normally land in the FreeBSD is that some committer
will push them in with a tag saying that you'd submitted it and when
there's enough you'd get a commit bit of all has gone well.

If you're doing GSoC, then you and your mentor would work this out.
