Largely, by being patient and waiting :)

As to what you're actually waiting for - usually for an existing
developer to suggest granting you commit privileges. The exact reasons
an existing developer may suggest that are many and varied - a
significant history of accepted patches is certainly one way, as is a
long history contributing to python-dev. Assisting with triage and patch
reviews on the tracker is another good one.

There are occasional exceptions, such as when a new module is adopted
for the standard library and the developer is granted commit privileges
to support that module, or when a new maintainer steps forward for a
somewhat neglected area of the standard library.

Mainly though, it's a question of "Hurry up and wait!".

Cheers,
Nick.
