From time to time we have new users and other people show up in IRC who
demonstrate that they are able to debug problems and provide good fixes
and
patches. Our normal style is to offer these people developer rights so
that they can fix their own bugs and further contribute to the
distribution. Quite a lot of us probably got our start in the distro
this
way. Lately we have had a few who have declined this offer because they
didn't feel they were quite ready for an extra level of responsibility.

For this reason we are going to pilot an "apprentice" system where we
give
these people commit access to the devel branch(es) only, with another
full
developer accepting responsibility to review their commits and integrate
them to test for them. Hopefully after doing this a short while and
getting some experience working with our system and policies these
apprentices will feel ready to become full developers. I will be posting
some info about this to the web site before too long.

i want to be apprentice, mainly because i have local grimoire with new
spells, fixes etc. but i'm too lazy to make a diff, file bug on bugzilla
etc... so count me in!

Welcome to the team. :)

P.S. my biggest problem at this time is poor english knowledge

That's not a problem. We can help you with that and might even improve
our own English in the process. ;)
