The main criteria for selection by the relax developers is to show good judgement, competence in producing good patches, compliance with the coding and commit log conventions, comportment on the mailing lists, not producing too many bugs, only taking on challenges which can be handled, and the skill in judging your own abilities. After a number of patches have been submitted and accepted, any of the relax developers can propose that you receive commit access. If a number of developers agree while no one says no, then commit access will be offered. -One area where coding ability can be demonstrated is within the relax test suite.
