I could spell it out, (maintainer of a subsystem, known member of the
community, lots and lots of kernel commits, invited to kernel summit
and/or subsystem summit meetings, etc.), but that kind of implies that
this is something that you are looking to achieve for the sake of
achieving it, rather than it happening because this is something you
want to do, which is the most important thing.
Yes, it's an imperfect judgement call, but if you were in my situation,
what would you do and trust?
