Contributing the Lift community is the best way to become a committer. You can contribute by doing a solid job of answering questions on the mailing list and demonstrating both knowledge of Lift and the kind of attitude that furthers the goals of the Lift community (helpfulness, sharing, paying particular attention to newbies). You can contribute by writing code that demonstrates a solid knowledge about Lift and what people need from Lift. Put that code out for the world to use... if it's good stuff, we may ask you to join the Lift project and roll that code into Lift. After you've contributed to the Lift community for a while and your contributions are inline with the Lift way, we'll invite you to join. There have been a couple of exceptions to the above (e.g., Jonas)... but the exceptions are based on either awesome presence in related forums or stellar, over-the-top technical prowess (Jonas demonstrated both.)
