No, you must be sponsored in order to become a member of the packager
group and thus gain access to CVS and other infrastructure for
packagers.
Your options, thus, are:
1) Help out by doing testing and supplying patches and such, without the
ability to commit them yourself. (You can still do test builds and
such; all users who have completed the CLA can do scratch builds in
koji.)
2) Submit a package and go through the regular review and sponsorship
route.
3) Convince a sponsor to sponsor you without submitting a package.
Sponsors (for the packager group, at least) have wide discretion in
who they sponsor. Most will still want to see some evidence that you
understand the basics of packaging for Fedora. Having done some of
#1 may help.
