Yeah, as one of the people on the list, I can say for myself that the directions on the site have always been clear enough. However, I think it was assumed that requesting commit access via xircles was better (from an administrative POV) than a "Hey, can I be a committer, too?" on the dev list.
I originally requested commit privs because I had some free time to contribute in knocking down some outstanding JIRAs relating to plugins I was using most and waiting for patches to be applied was sometimes not much fun. I hope to have time to get involved a bit more in the future so please do what you think is best in regards to my request.
