I don't see any reason why you couldn't get Emacs CVS access if you're
maintaining a file there!
Note that if you change the file in Emacs CVS, those changes will go
into the Gnus v5-10 branch too, as "encrypt.el" is currently `the same
file' as "gnus-encrypt.el" (and more generally, since presumably Emacs
Gnus will be changed to use the new "encrypt.el", those changes also
will be propagated to the Gnus v5-10 branch).
So keeping this in mind, you could theoretically just do the opposite:
install your changes into the Gnus v5-10 and have them propagate to
Emacs CVS (and the Gnus CVS trunk) that way. Because of the "gnus file
vs. non-gnus file" distinction, I would normally be more suspicious of
propagating big changes to a non-gnus file without some discussion, but
this could be relaxed if I know you're also the Emacs maintainer for
that file.
However, you probably need Emacs CVS access anyway, because surely some
Emacs files will use encrypt.el which aren't in the Gnus tree.
