We don't have a fixed checklist or anything, but I'd say:
- interest in becoming one
- sustained contributions over some period (of good quality). no fixed
period or number of PRs, but typical is on the order of 6 months or 10 PRs
- communication skills, on Github and/or email (code review, design
decisions, etc.)
- already doing or interest in doing PR reviews

It could well be that you read this and think "I'm ticking all of those
boxes". Or conversely thinking "sounds cool, but am I good enough?". In
either case, I'm happy to chat about it.

Cheers,
Ralf
