If you're really helpful, you could get a commit bit with the -doc
project, and a vote for the next core committee.  To learn how, read

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/01/31/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

(Disclaimer: I'm not speaking from personal experience -- I haven't
contributed enough to -doc, and what little I have contributed needs
updating.  But then I'm not the one demanding commit bit or a vote for
core.  What few contributions I made were accepted readily; I'm sure
that if I regularly filed high-quality PRs, people would give me a
commit bit just to keep me quiet, as they did with Michael.)
