Welcome - it's great you want to contribute!

What's being "tested" is mainly your merge request, and anyone can 
create those. You'll need one of the members with commit access to press 
the magic "merge now!" button at the end of the review process, and I'm 
sure there'll always be one around who is happy to do so for you for 
your first bunch of merge requests.

The way I understand it, there's basically only one quality you need in 
order to "deserve" commit access, namely the willingness _not_ to press 
the "merge" button before a proposed patch has passed the review process.

But to be clear: I am not stating that you shouldn't get commit access 
even now before your first contribution - it's just that I'm not the one 
to decide about that.
