EVE is a meritocracy. Once someone has shown sufficient sustained commitment to a project by helping out and contributing work to it (and to LF-Edge), the project may vote to invite that person to become a committer. Since committers get access and PR merge GitHub karma on all of the repositories of the EVE Project (EVE, Eden, Adam, edge-containers, runx, rol and eve-tools) it is expected that they are mature enough to know when to ask for help when dealing with PRs that go outside of their area of immediate expertise.
How does one show commitment? Simple! Any activity that has been identified in the description of the Committer role counts. For example, get involved and contribute via the user and developer email lists, Wiki and forums (if any); extend or improve the documentation; work on bugs listed in the issue tracker or submit code patches. Answering other users' questions is a great way to get started, as is suggesting patches or improvements to the LF-Edge EVE website. Note that becoming a committer is not just about submitting some patches; it's also about helping out on the development and user discussion lists, helping with documentation and the issue tracker, and showing long-term interest.
