all requirements and steps should be listed in [1]. There are two
mandatory steps:

    - Finishing a microproject. You have already started on a
      microproject, but as far as I can see there is still feedback from
      Junio that hasn't been addressed.

    - Writing your application. This would be the next step once the
      microproject has been accepted.

As spelled out in the document, you can optionally also help out on the
mailing list by reviewing other patches. This is not a strict
requirement, but getting more involved with the community is a good way
to increase your chances of getting accepted. You are of course also
free to do another microproject or search for any other areas that you
want to propose a patch for.

Thanks!

Patrick
