I can not give you definite answer but AFAIK all currently active committers are currently hired by companies setting priorities for us. From my POV best thing to do is to hire someone with either SWT or underlying WS knowledge and grow him/her into committer. I can promise helping if this path is taken with reviewing/guiding esp. if we speak for GTK backend (as I don't know much/anything about the other WSs).
Or maybe someone will pop up offering his service here :)._______________
