The CQ in question includes a code snapshot that is the "delta of source contributions plus the original". The same has been done previously (see e.g. https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3855), and also approved by the Eclipse team (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3855#c17).

All this means is that we didn't catch it the first time.
It is important to emphasize again that "the amount of code in the contribution" equals to the "original plus the delta". Nevertheless, I do completely agree with you that each of the developers should be promoted to committers; to my knowledge, this has not been possible under the GMT umbrella.
More importantly, the project *must* start working in accordance with the Eclipse Development Process.
I think the error is on our part in this case. The word "release" has been historically used to mark milestones in VIATRA2 development, and is *not* intended to imply that this is a "release" in the Eclipse.org sense.
Statements like "The VIATRA2 Release 3.1 has been approved by Eclipse.org!" seem to contradict this. Or at very least, somebody is mixing up an IP team approval of a contribution with a release in the Eclipse Development Process sense.

To anybody looking at the project (if I can speak on behalf of everybody), it sure looks like the project is making official releases in very much the same way that the EMF project does.
 
Is there a guide somewhere on how to do this? I'd really like to resolve all problems as soon as possible.

You can't you're not a committer. You need to have commit rights on the project make the required changes.
