    It shouldn't be especially harder to get membership through u-u-c
than through any other method.  In any of these cases, the applicant
needs to demonstrate both significant and sustained effort working
within some (or multiple) areas of the community.  One factor that may
make u-u-c appear more difficult is that typically only one's
contributions within the development community are reviewed, rather
than contributions also in other areas.  That said, it probably takes
longer between application and the granting of membership for u-u-c,
but that's in part due to the different process used.
