The subject is close enough. It doesn't say "become XXX committer".
Yeah "svn access" might have been better.

We would not become "committers" at Lenya or Cocoon,
just get "svn access". To become committers proper
we would go there, participate on their mailing lists,
help users, be committed to the project, etc.

As i said earlier in this thread, this is not the
normal practise. It is a new experiment between
the Cocoon-based projects.
