I propose to replace the old text: "As a rough guide, a Contributor should make at least eight significant contributions to that Project before being nominated." With something like: "A Contributor who is trusted to use their push access in a responsible fashion and who has shown through previous work in the Project to understand the workflow and infrastructure required to work in the Project can be nominated." When the text on the OpenJDK page [1] has been changed to something similar to this I'll be happy to change my vote to Yes.

I believe that "As a rough guide" is already to be taken to mean that it's not a strict rule and best judgment applies, and we had various discussions at FOSDEM about this topic and this was always the message given, and makes sense!

Nevertheless, I second that change, it makes the guidelines clear and the point explicit.

Cheers, Mario
