You can't commit anything without being a committer, unless you're 
talking about committing time to it, which is something completely 
different :-)

If you want to get involved with documentation, subscribe to the doc 
list and look through the PRs that have been submitted.  Test them out, 
etc., and post followups to the PRs saying the patches either apply or 
don't, etc.  You can do the same with ports.  For other stuff, 
subscribe to the current and hackers list and ask there.
