See http://incubator.apache.org/guides/ppmc.html#Voting+in+a+new+committer for the procedure to follow. Typically anyone who's been around for a while and earned enough merit through at least a few good contributions will be granted committership in a project. See http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy for some background. In the end it's up to each project to decide on the level of contributions they expect before granting someone committership. Sometimes that expectation and related processes are formalized in written project bylaws, but often they're just an informal tradition within the project, ultimately expressed as the subjective decisions of each PMC member when nominating and voting for new committers. PS. Strictly speaking the roles and responsibilities of committers [1] and (P)PMC members [2] are different, but most Apache projects have all committers also as PMC members to avoid extra boundaries within the project. Thus my recommendation is for Cordova to grant also PPMC membership to all new committers.
