There is also the trust that the candidate will be around for a few years. It's easier if they are getting paid to work on CDT. But that could also be open for debate.
At any rate, whoever is applying your patches needs to be the one to do the nomination, if one is to take place.
There is no minimum requirement. All that is required is
to show that you do good work with a sample of patches, enough to earn
the trust of the other committers.
I didn't recall that requirement, but Frank has well over ten, I only
included a few patches in the nomination. You can find the rest in
bugzilla,
here is a link to the issues Frank has been involved in:
