*Of course* you can gain them.

Pretty much we have a standard procedure that very much mirrors the one
Sun used for OS/Net.  Nobody integrates without review, but once a
review is approved by an advocate, the contributor is given the
permission to integrate the change directly.  We never revoke the SSH
permission used for this (at least not under *normal* circumstances) so
once you're a developer you remain one, but we do insist that all
changes continue to be reviewed by one of the advocates (who will also
check that you've had a code review, etc.)

The big difference between illumos and ON is that we don't require
anyone to be an employee of Oracle or any other company to be a
contributor. :-)
