Each user require a savannah account, you are right. 

But this account should be created  by the user himself, via this form
https://savannah.nongnu.org/account/register.php

After that, a project admin can add a user to his project.
The user will get write access on the CVS, website, download area for
the project.

The project admin can even set the user as project admin too. He will
be able to admin. this project too.


So:
        - yes the user need an account, a savannah account that he
        should create himself
        - after, you'll have to add him to a project for which you are
        admin
        For instance, if you want him to work on gnupress, you should
        go, logged in, at 
        https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/userperms.php?group=gnupress
        - if you want him to be admin on this project (not required to
        work on the project), you can set him as admin on the same
        page.
        
        
Better?
