The usual type of practice here should come from applying trivial 
patches, or ones that don't impact code quality.  Docs patches come to 
mind as a good way someone could get used to the commit process without 
introducing much potential mayhem along the way.  As far as keeping new 
people away from complicated patches, ultimately you just have to trust 
that anyone who can commit has a reasonable idea of their own 
capabilities.  I seriously doubt you're going to find a new committer 
jumping right in by committing hot standby out of the gate just because 
they could do so.
