Project Criteria for becoming a Committer.

Link to original bug (#283880)
Description
I have done a little research and currently there seems to be no documentation for any particular project on how somebody gets invited to be a committer. Are the rules different if they are a member company versus a contributer from the outside. What are the projects specific requirements.
Many times projects are saying they don't have time to do the work, because of lack of resources, but are they providing the necessary documentation on the criteria they expect for a somebody that wants to become a committer. Are they actively seeking and trying to recruite new committers.
It would help both existing projects, and new projects at eclipse if we could come up with some guidelines on how to document these requirements. I realize they will vary by project but having something for your user community can be a great help.
