Reason for that is that documentation is one of the vital parts of a software product that you can have. The better the surrounding documentation (next to very good software product ofcourse) can assist in making something a winner. Now, I achieved my commit bit(s) first by translating the english handbook to my native language (dutch) with the assistance of a team. I annoyed Simon and a few others too much and got a commit bit so that I could do the things myself. Later on I expressed interest in documenting and fixing documents that were on the native English side as well, so I was allowed to commit there as well. That was not granted untill I did a lot of work, submitted a lot of documentation etc. So if you want to do this, please accept my suggestion in sending in a lot of high quality documents and learn how sgml and the various doc projects work, given enough work and hitting the "annoyance" factor, someone will punish you with a bit, that wont happen over day, so stay tuned.
