Personally, I'd like to be able to work on the JavaMail stuff more -- 
and I can tell there's going to be a whole lot more patches coming that 
way, as I write tests/fix bugs, and write the mail transport/store 
classes.

How do I become a committer?

it is @

http://incubator.apache.org/forms/ASF_Contributor_License_2_form.pdf

the actual process for voting in new committers is @

http://incubator.apache.org/drafts/newcommitters.html

the process for handling tech details once a committer is voted in is @

http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html

atm it is probably a good idea to have your sponsoring members
handle most of this stuff until you get to grips with the process :D

in general, all (would-be) contributors and committers would do well to
read through www.apache.org/foundation/, www.apache.org/dev/,
incubator.apache.org and jakarta.apache.org/site/guidelines.html. Stuff
might be a little spread out, but most parts of the process are actually
documented :D

The only one I can find on the Apache site is:

http://www.apache.org/foundation/ASF_Contributor_License_1_form.pdf

(and
http://www.apache.org/foundation/ASF_Contributor_License_2_form.pdf
doesn't exist :-)

The only links I can find are

http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html
   and
http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html

and they just refer to contributing (done that :-) and signing 
agreement 1 above. Is that the one I need to sign, or should there be a 
different flavour?

Kay, then you need to sign and fax the contributor agreement v2, not 
sure what the link is to that at the moment.

Assuming that other binding voters agree that we should give you access.

But this is just a guess, not sure what the official process is, 
perhaps that is listed somewhere on the apache website, not sure.

Are you already an apache committer on another project?
