You shouldn't. There's some misinformation being spread around. Membership is a recognition of significant and sustained contribution. It doesn't have anything to do with upload rights and is in no way a prerequisite for getting them. You only need to apply for UCD or whatever it becomes if you want to. We certainly will always need to recruit new developers, but lowering the barriers for membership is not the way to do it. Membership is well defined and devaluing it will not help anyone. It's a recognition of past good work. If people don't think membership is a thing worth getting then that is another issue.
