@cindex commit access, for developers
Everyone can contribute to Guix without having commit access
(@pxref{Submitting Patches}). However, for frequent contributors,
-having write access to the repository can be convenient. Commit access
-should not be thought of as a ``badge of honor'' but rather as a
-responsibility a contributor is willing to take to help the project.
+having write access to the repository can be convenient. As a rule of
+thumb, a contributor should have accumulated fifty (50) reviewed commits
+to be considered as a committer and have sustained their activity in the
+project for at least 6 months. This ensures enough interactions with
+the contributor, which is essential for mentoring and assessing whether
+they are ready to become a committer. Commit access should not be

The following sections explain how to get commit access, how to be ready
to push commits, and the policies and community expectations for commits
