Yes, that is how it is 'explained' in the documentation. But explaining WHO decides does not really answer the question: "how do I know if I'm ready to be considered, and, if not, how much of what does it take to be eligible for consideration?" To clarify: I, like many others (I imagine), have limited resources to donate to the project. Instead of hacking around patching patches and waiting for someone to get round to committing the code, I'd rather spend the little time I have coding, testing and submitting the result myself. I understand this is not a free for all and there is a process to the whole contributor -> committer road. But, having said that, I submit that some insight in the process and some transparency about the actual requirements will go a long way to keep us patchers patching along until "we get noticed by the PPMC"...

I would like everybody to know that as of this morning I broke my personal record for days lived.
