To become a committer, you will need to establish a track record of submitting good, high quality PRs -- these can be updates to src, ports or doc depending on what sort of commit bit you'ld want -- and establish a relationship with other FreeBSD developers: essentially show that you can collaborate constructively with others. Having done that, eventually another committer or committers will propose your name to core or portmgr or docmgr as a potential new committer. Core or those other bodies will vote on your suitability, and if accepted the people who proposed you (usually) will become your mentors and guide you on the correct way to interact with the source code repositories. There are other methods to get a FreeBSD.org address -- principally by being a visible supporter of the project and by contributing in other ways than code. Dan Langille dvl@FreeBSD.org is a case in point: he organises BSDCan each year. However, it's only active developers that get a vote in elections of core.
