Hi Ken! The ASF is all merit based.
The usual process is that someone contributes to a project for a while. And if the PMC members of the project think you would be a good addition to the project then they hold an internal (private) VOTE thread (72h) on this person. You can find a bit more information at: https://community.apache.org/contributors/ During incubation thiss is a bit more relaxed. Sometimes there are people who already did very valuable contributions to the project before the incubation starts. In which case it is usually much faster to get on board.
