I guess in theory you don't know when you're ready to be considered. It is
completely subjective. You have to do enough work for a PPMC member to

Wow. I was just about ready to drop it, in order to not completely
ruin my changes of being noticed in a positive way, but... I have to
"do enough work for a PPMC member"? Really? I work for the PPMC now?
No; I strongly recommend you only do work that you care about.
But, a PPMC member has to nominate you to become a committer; so if
your sole goal is to become a committer; then you'll have to do
something for a PPMC member to notice.
Or if you think you've done plenty; feel free to solicit me (I can't
speak for other a PPMC members) to point out your contributions.
When the guy I never heard of emailed me a single line email asking
that I nominate him to become a committer; I ignored it.
But, if someone emailed me with some details on why they think they
should be nomiated, such as "I've submitted pathces to these 5 bugs;
I've contributed this new code via Jira; and have created 15 new Jira
entries; 10 of them with patches included.." I'd be more likely to listen.
