My personal rule is that you get commit access after some number of good PRs, depending on the project. Has worked out quite well: - instar. I had two guys basically rewrite the entire thing and make it WAY better. I had a good vision for the API but my implementation was pretty bad. - mutmut. I would never have gotten windows support going without help. (Although I am thinking of abandoning windows anyway soon...) - iommi. This project is much more complex and has a certain philosophy, but we gave commit access to one developer pretty fast as it was super obvious from the first PR what kind of deep thinking he did. All in all, great success.
