Company logos show up on project pages when:
- The company is a member of the Eclipse Foundation;
- The company has provided their logo to the Eclipse Foundation; and
- At least one employee of the company is a committer on the project and
has pushed at least one commit into any branch of any project repository in
the last three months.
So yes. If you want your company logo to appear on a project page, you need
to have a committer that actually pushes commits. Note listing a committer
as an "Also-by" entry in a Git Commit
<https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#resources- > counts (makecommit
sure that you get the email address right). So a committer can give credit
to a collaborator when pushing a commit.
The process that builds the chart data only knows what it finds in the Git
repository, so some "bot" users will appear. I can filter them out if I
know about them. I'll see what I can do about the "genie" users. Similar to
logos, only member companies show up in the charts. "Contributor" groups
non-committer contributors together; "Unaffiliated" groups together those
committers who do not work for a member company.
I'm not sure what you're asking with your last statement. The charts and
the list of companies is generated exclusively by the criteria that I've
set above. Having your company logo/name appear on a project page is a
benefit of membership with the Eclipse Foundation (independent of any
working group affiliation).
FWIW, developers need to earn their way to committer status on a
project by demonstrating
merit <https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#elections- >.committer
Employment status or employer affilication is not an accepted criterion for
becoming a committer (nor is a change in affiliation a reason to retire a
committer).

Ondro,
Although Markus may sometimes express his point a little more drastically,
he does have a point on this.
He did not ask about general Eclipse committer membership which is free.
Out of the thousand or more committer members only one may be elected into
some or all of the Jakarta EE WG committees, that seems given right now,
unless the number changes slightly, but 1, 2 or 3 I am sure there won't be
more representatives of "the community" if you include the odd JUG that can
afford the 5k$ annual fee.
