This is a very lengthy process with a lot of customization to how the CVS 
server is setup.  If things were in git or hg, it would be as simple as a 
clone call.  As they work, they can continue to do pull calls to keep in sync 
with the upstream without overwriting their own changes.  Even better, when 
they've done some changes and have a working package set, they can ask the 
upstream maintainer to just do a pull from their clones.  Since the history 
is all kept changesets know where they came from and merging in changes is 
every very easy, the upstream would do a pull/merge from the downstream 
clones.
