I don't know exactly how the decision about new committers is made, but here is the anwser for the other parts of your questions. http://www.freebsd.org/internal/new-account.html I am sure some of the new committers will be glad to tell you how the became one: http://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash.html#2003August15:0 I can it works that way: you write lots of usefull patches and send them to the lists or to the PR database, until somebody who is already a FreeBSD committer suggests you to become one. > 2.
