I think the canonical answer is:

1.  Master C programming, or at least get Real Good[tm].
2.  Submit lots of PR's via send-pr(1) that start with the
        string "(PATCH)".
3.  Make sure the above fix extant problems or add cool new
    features, and that they do it the "Right Way[tm]", instead of
    the "this seems to work for me" approach used by Penguin
    afficiandos at times...
4.  Wait a while, folks notice, then you will be eternally punished with
        a "commit bit".

I don't think "master" is open to non-committers.  But I could
be wrong about that ...
