I am not too familiar with our Drupal installation but found this
(incomplete?) Wiki page explaining the roles:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Drupal_Portal#CMS_Permissions
"The role defines what a user is allowed to do and what she gets to
see. WebCom (url) votes for users to get roles."

I guess you need to make a formal request to get into an editor role.
