Contributor Model : 2.3 Committers
“…To become a Committer, one must have shown a
willingness and ability to participate in the project as a team
player. Typically, a potential Committer will need to show that
they have an understanding of and alignment with the project,
its objectives, and its strategy. They will also have provided
valuable contributions to the project over a period of time and,
specifically, a minimum of 10 qualifying pull requests. What's a
qualifying pull request? One that carries significant technical
weight and requires little effort to accept because it’s well
documented and tested…”
