Submitting patches that are accepted into the tree are a huge part of it.

Here's a page from the website:
  http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/committers-guide/article.html
and the relevant section:
  http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/committers-guide/conventions.html

That page doesn't discuss the process of going from user-with-patches
to committer-with-mentor.
