I would apply for this but I find the wording in the guide quite disheartening. "Prove track record" etc. For me macports is interesting, because I am a programmer, work with open source packages, and don't fancy to do a simply "make install" in the middle of nowhere and then are not able to get rid of the leftovers of my experiments. That's where a portfile comes quite handy. And when I'm at it and find I had to uprade an existing port in the process, then I'm happy to share these results with the community. When this then means I file a bug which is being ignored for 6 weeks then I don't do this again, I guess. Just add more committers, and also offer commit right where you see it fit. There is a bell curve of committers, and there are outstanding ones, the majority, and bad ones, and one could probably also revoke this right after a warning, if it doesn't work out. But people also start slowly and unimpressive, and you probably dont want to discourage them further.
I applied for commit rights after my patches had been sitting for 6 months. So I'm not sure if MacPorts has committers, or just bored port maintainers.
