I need to do some more work to the software to organize this process, 
so we don't really have a formal process at the moment.  I remember 
your name from several bug reports you've filed (thanks), and you 
participate on the list and have a valid email address, so if you'll 
confirm for me that you are wiki user "Jheijmans", and I'll fix you 
up.

P.S. I also looked at your contributions page, and it's over half 
Talk pages.  While they're certainly a necessary part of what goes on 
here, we also have an informal tradition here (it was stated 
somewhere once, maybe I need to put it into the policy pages) that if 
you do a lot or "meta" stuff you should at least do a bit of work on 
real articles to balance it out--edit some random articles, add a 
short bio of someone, etc.  Sysops ought to set an example here.
