There is no particular protocol like getting a driver's license, it's  
a little arbitrary. The one time I saw Isaac comment was something  
like "submit enough good patches that it becomes obvious they don't  
have to be reviewed" or words to that effect. Someone else posted  
about this recently, probably in the last four months, and it was  
similar: make yourself noticed for quality or insight and you'll be  
contacted off-list to ask if you'd like to join the group.

I'm not one of the people who decides, just passing on my  
observations. For some it goes pretty quickly while others beat the  
door for ages and no go.
