7 people with SVN write access. 4 of those are basically done with
Typo, leaving 3 of us semi-active. If a couple people could step up
and demonstrate that they (a) have time, (b) know what they’re doing,
and © are good at dealing with bugs, then I’d be glad to add them to
the commit list.
The company I’m working for wants to start providing Typo as a service,
so I have resources to put towards fixing bugs and applying the patches
submitted on trac. I would love to commit our fixes to trunk. How
would you propose I go about demonstrating b and c?

Just submit your patches as tickets in Trac Ralph. If they’re fine
and include tests so all the maintainers have to do is check them
in … well they’ll get tired of it and think about giving you commit
access.
But
Anybody can provide patches for Typo. Look in Trac at the ‘[PATCH]’
tickets. You don’t need commit access for that. People need to
remember that commit access is for the whole community. I might
hate the AJAX for sidebars in the admin panel and write a patch that
rips that out. I would then just provide it as a ticket on trac and
not ask for commit access for it because some people like the AJAX
for the sidebars. Mind you if I was refactoring the core code to
make it sleeker and leaner then the whole community would benefit
from that and that would be included in trunk. The only thing I’d be
wary about is your company may want to take Typo in a direction that
the community doesn’t want to go in. Not saying they would of course
