Hi Xin! this is a great question. Certainly this is something that HAWQ community has to ponder soon enough. There are no hard and fast rules, but here are a few things that typically would prompt considering somebody a candidate for a committer: 1. participation in the mailing list conversations 2. code contributions (patches submitted to JIRA or PRs) committed by existing committers 3. documentation contributions 4. wiki/social media contributions 5. review of patches submitted by others 6. reviews of release candidates 7. bug reports
If the behavior of contributing to the project in a variety of different ways continues for a few months I think it is reasonable to expect that your merit should be considered as a basis for commitership. Thanks, Roman.
