You don't need to enroll anywhere -- anyone can submit patches. The way it usually works is that if you keep submitting patches of good quality and you interact well with other members of the community eventually you'll be offered a commit bit. It's not a particularly /quick/ process to get a commit bit: you'll need to be an active member of the community for months if not years before that happens. So join the IRC channels, contribute on the various mailing lists and above all raise PRs with patches in Bugzilla or open reviews in Phabricator. Go to FreeBSD related conferences (BSDCan, MeetBSD in North America; EuroBSDCon and Fosdem in Europe, others around the world). Don't be put off if reviewers ask you to change things -- that's all part of the normal process and happens to even the most experienced committers. There are actually 3 flavours of commit bit -- ports, doc and src. Volunteering to maintain some ports is a good step towards committer-hood, as is contributing to the documentation. Either of these paths can gain you a commit bit in those areas, and it's then fairly common for a committer in one area to collect one or more of the other flavours of commit bit.
