I'd say one good patch or some useful wiki page or some useful
discussion on the list... in a way they are all things that give the
idea that a person is serious about contributing.

One possibility would be to have people contribute in terms of patches
and give write access when we get tired of committing on their behalf,
with the idea that we are very lazy and we get tired quite quickly :)

This would translate in something like "let's create the account
whenever someone who has an account already asks for someone else to
have it".

I think we should avoid being too formal at this stage: being fuzzy and
fudgeable works quite well in a strongly connected community and we can
postpone making strict rules for when we really need them.


Ciao,

Enrico
