how to become a committer?

Hi,

Anyone have any tips for becoming a committer around these parts?
Maybe codec could use an extra hand since Henri seems pretty busy
these days.


Here are some patches I'm particularly proud of.  These ones in
particular took me around 100-150 hours to put together I think when
you add them all up.


2007:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-613 - https should
check CN of x509 cert

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-614 - allow different
strategies when checking CN of x509 cert


2008:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-69 - Streaming Base64


2009:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-75 - URL-Safe Base64

See the "How it works" page, and especially the section on meritocracy.

On that note....

2009's actually been a very active year for me code wise:

http://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?from=20090101&to=20091231&author=bayard

Split generally between Taglibs and Commons.

However, surprise new baby on the way means that the 2nd half of the
year, and the first half of  next year are likely to see a ramp down
again. I expect to get active on Lang 3.0 again in a month or so, and
the usual occasional bug dim sum from Codec, CLI and Collections.
