It is correct that we haven't released an official version of U-Boot
yet, but as you can see from the project page it is based on PPCBoot,
which has been around for _some_ time.
And of course the CVS repository _is_ available to everybody for
anonymous CVS access. The page you quote is pretty clear:
Anonymous CVS Access
This project's SourceForge.net CVS repository can be checked
out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following
instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be
specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for
anonymous, simply press the Enter key.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.u-boot.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u-boot login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.u-boot.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u-boot co modulename
Updates from within the module's directory do not need the
-d parameter.
Developer access is indeed for developers only.

No. You should not spend time on a project which has been
discontinued. Just download the latest (top of tree) version from the
U-Boot CVS server.
Best regards,
