Hi team,

In the past few weeks I got a few messages from certain individuals asking
for guidance on what it takes to become a committer/PMC to the XTable
project.

It would be a good idea to establish some rough guidelines on what's needed
and publish them to the website so that people don't have to reach out
personally to me or other PMC members.

Personally, I feel that mentioning exact numbers (e.g., 3 commits, 2
reviews, 10K lines of code) is not really needed and pushes the
contributors to the wrong direction. However, some projects do have a
minimum set of requirements (eg., contributing to the project for more than
X months) so in this case it makes sense to document them.

Some general guidelines for adding committers can be found in [1] which can
serve as a baseline.

Best,
Stamatis
