Developers and contributors who contribute too much good code and not enough bad code usually become committers.

Committers with a long history of significant involvement in the advancement of the project and project development (ideally in more than one way), a strong ability to work with others in the ASF way, and who are not jerkwads are generally nominated to be on the PMC. After the PMC has voted to add a new PMC member, the ASF board has to approve new PMC members; this is discussed \[http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html on how-it-works.html\]. |
There are no hard criteria for either of these roles: not lines of code nor number of patches. If you're interested, you can always send a message to the PMC to ask where you are on the radar.

Committers should probably ensure they're subscribed to \[http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#other the 'committers' and 'community' ASF mailing lists\]. |
