I'm curious about this project -- google doesn't reveal much.

As for commit privileges, my usual standard is that the candidate has
become a nuisance to the other developers.  That is, they are
contributing patches faster than we can review them :-)  That is a bit
tongue in cheek, but I do like to see several patches that reveal a
significant understanding of mpl internals and compliance with our
coding standards.  Ben's handling of several 3D bugs certainly put him
in this category in my view, as this is a particularly hairy part of
the code and there were not many developers who were able to review
his patches because he was one of the few experts on this part of the
code, and handling 3D properly means you have a pretty good grasp of
the 2D stack.

Friedrich hasn't become a nuisance yet <wink>.  When he does, I'll be
happy to add him....
