+- Submitted a few (5-10 as a rule of thumb) non-trivial (not just simple

+
+- Are actively participating on discussions about their work (on the mailing

+  communication. Cross-review is still highly encouraged.

+- Will be regularly contributing further patches. This includes regular
+  contributors to other parts of the linux kernel or the open source graphics
+  stack who only do the oddball rare patch within drm-misc itself.

+Apply for an account (and any other account change requests) through

+
+and please ping the maintainers if your request is stuck.

+Committers are encouraged to request their commit rights get removed when they
+no longer contribute to the project. Commit rights will be reinstated when they

+Maintainers and committers should encourage contributors to request commit
