To request commit privileges, please submit an application to [email protected] (you must be logged in to trac in order to view this email address). The application should contain a list of 10 tickets, at least 5 of which are patches you've submitted, and at least 5 of which are code reviews you've done which have been accepted by a committer. At least 2 of your authored patches should have gone all of the way through the review process to be landed. Once you've sent in your application, a group of core contributors will review it and decide whether to grant you commit privileges.
The following is an example application using some of glyph's commit history:
The committee will use the following process when deciding to grant commit privileges: 1. Once at least 1 committee member sponsors the application, other committers have 7 days to object to the application. 2. If no objections are received within the 7 day period, any member of the committee may grant the applicant commit privileges. 3. If the committee decides to grant privileges to the applicant, a committee member will make an announcement on the mailing list welcoming the new committer. If the application is denied, then the applicant will be notified privately and given an explanation.
