Fair enough.
I personally prefer the "most obvious" way, but I must point out that it
requires some guidance/cooperation from current committers and that is
-- understandably so -- not always available.

Several routes.
The most obvious is by providing patches / pull requests for issues. Do
that often enough that your name is recognised as someone who knows what
they are doing and provides decent patches and you'll get you commit bit
pretty quickly.
The less obvious routes are supporting the community in other areas. For
example, a number of folks were made committers based on their
contributions to this list. It hasn't happened yet but other possible
routes could include improving the wiki, documentation, providing
content for the YouTube channel etc.
In short, any sustained contribution to the community should result in
committership being offered.

How does one become a committer? (asking from Los Angeles but willing to
relocate to India if that would improve my chances :])

Just as soon as we get a committer based in India :)
Seriously, these events are intended to break even financially while not
placing the ASF or any individual committers in a position where they
might lose money. Any funds remaining after this event will be used to
fund the venue for the next one. Funds remaining from that one will be
used for the following one and so on.
In the interests of openness and transparency, I plan to publish
'accounts' for these events so everyone can see where the money goes.
We are fortunate that Liferay offered to sponsor this event and are
providing the venue. That means if the event is well attended we should
have a reasonable balance with which to plan the next event. Suggestions
of where that should be are welcome.
Generally, the expectation is that events will be held near(ish) to
where the committers are to keep travel costs for the speakers low.
However, if someone is willing to sponsor an event in terms of providing
the venue and covering speaker costs, we can have an event pretty much
anywhere committers are willing to travel to.
Based on a very quick search on monsterindia.com, Bengaluru is the most
popular location for Tomcat job postings. If we were to put on an event
in Bengaluru then, as a rough guess, we'd be looking at needing
sponsorship of around £1,000 for the venue and £750 for each Europe
based committer for a 2-day event. I can't speak for any other
committers but, other commitments permitting, I'd be willing to travel
to speak at such an event.
