Do you have an account for git.gnome.org account at all?

Note that you can create a clone without having an account. Just clone
from git://git.gnome.org/gimp-help-2  You only need to use the ssh URL
if you intend to push your changes to the master repository.

Your account for the GNOME Wiki has nothing to do with having commit
access to the GNOME git repository. The latter is reserved for people
who have already submitted a reasonable number of patches and needs
approval from module maintainers.
