To become an author, it's standard OpenJDK rules:

"Becoming an Author
Any Contributor may request the Author role by contacting the relevant Project Lead. References to at least two sponsored contributions to the Project are required. An Author receives the following privileges above those of a Contributor:

An OpenJDK username, which allows write access to the code-review server and (eventually) other infrastructure services, and

The ability to create Mercurial changesets directly, with the Author's OpenJDK username recorded as the author of the Mercurial changeset. This is a more efficient process than the indirect one, where a patch must be sent to an existing Committer and the changeset comment lists the Contributor's e-mail address in the Contributed-by: line.

An Author who is not a Committer still requires the assistance of a Committer to push changesets, but the Author role is nonetheless a step above being an unregistered Contributor.

Project Leads are encouraged to grant the Author role only to Contributors who appear likely to continue to contribute for some time so that they will eventually be nominated to the Committer role."

(I guess the Hg wording needs a bit of an update.)
