Within the OpenSolaris community, we have some arbitrary

I'd like to propose that how "contributor" status is designated
such that it is granted to anyone and everyone that is in a
position to do a putback or commit to the OpenSolaris code base.
It seems to be important that the right people get permissions for
putbacks, please show us your ideas on how you would like to see
the rules in future.
Perhaps being able to do a putback should require a further
level of "agreement" than just being a community member and
something that doesn't require you to read countless pages of
legal mumbo jumbo and then "click here to submit".
The NetBSD Foundation (owner of NetBSD source code) requires
that all developers sign a relatively short agreement. This page is
then sent in *hardcopy* to TNF officers who then give you access.
For full details, see:
http://www.netbsd.org/Foundation/policies/application-procedure.html
This seems like a good model to start from.
Whether it needs to be applied to both internal and external to Sun...
