Michael, I would certainly endorse you as a committer. Please take a
look at
<https://glassfish.java.net/wiki-archive/JavaServerFacesRI.html#JavaServerFacesRI-HowcanIcontribute%3F>

The first occurrence of "Oracle Contributor Agreement" is a hyperlink to
the PDF.

The tests are not easy to get running, but I know that Arjan and Bauke
have been able to do it. I also know that Arjan is undertaking a
refactoring of the source code to make it all easier to run.

MM> BTW, I'll be at JavaLand.

Yes, I will as well. I hope we can meet up!

Ed
