The main (thoroughly informal) criteria are having commit privileges,
having shown some evidence of "getting it" when it comes to the
release process and then actually putting your hand up to volunteer.

Most people who pass the second criterion seem to demonstrate this odd
reluctance to meet the third criterion ;)

There's probably a fourth criterion of the other devs not going "Arrg,
no, not *them*!", but, to my knowledge, that's never actually come
up...

I'm sure Larry will now be paying close attention as Georg shepherds
3.3 towards release next year, so it sounds like a perfectly
reasonable idea to me. +1

Cheers,
Nick.
