Hi Christian, Your e-mail sounds "weird" to me: like other Apache projects, if your contribution is valuable and sustained, then you will deserve committer-ship. It's meritocracy based.
Working part time is not a problem, it would make little bit more time to get into. So, just a timing point, nothing blocker.
