It's the same as with any other PMC at Apache: an existing PMC member proposes a candidate and runs a vote on the private list. As for what tends to get you on the IPMC (other than the standard track of being an ASF Member who wants to Mentor), it's typically taking an interest in the Incubator as an entity on its own, rather than focusing on your own narrow interest (e.g. a podling). Help with the Incubator website, answer questions on general@, review other podling releases (even if you can't cast a binding vote), and so on. Familiarize yourself with ASF processes and institutions and then demonstrate your expertise by sharing it with others. Perhaps the IPMC should be more aggressive about recruiting from PPMCs, by making it explicit that PPMC members who both know their stuff and give back to the Incubator are likely to get nominated for IMPC membership. That would certainly help ease some of the long-standing problems associated with Mentor attrition.
