To achieve this you need to contribute two non-trivial changes to the project in which you wish to become an Author. Once your changes are pushed into the code base and has been vetted enough to determine that the changes were indeed good changes you can go ahead and send an email to the project lead of that particular project and ask to be added as an Author.

You're absolutely right. Removed "non-trivial".

This is the case for instance for the JDK and the JDK-Updates projects. In order to get write access to JBS you need to be an [Author](https://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#author) in an OpenJDK project (see below). For your first changes, ask your sponsor to help you create the issue.

Yes. Added.
