Costin,
Roy Fielding once mentioned that anyone with a history of at least 6 months of sustained contributions was entitled to ASF membership.
You have been offered membership in the past but you declined the offer. Correct?

There are many ways membership could be defined ( but it isn't ).
Committers are assigning the (copy)rights of their work to ASF - and as was mentioned, the members
"own" the code and all the IP of ASF. It would be nice ( and fair !) to have the membership based on some
objective criteria on code and community contributions.
I can't know the exact rules that are used - but sometimes it feels a lot more like membership to a political party. The scary
thing is that some of the answers to "what is a member" ( and I've seen many of those during the last years ) sound
too much like a certain party :-).
I would assume most people who choose to give significant amounts of time and code to ASF are "serious" and serve the interests of the ASF.
