People are replying to your question in humour and without any real
answers because there is no procedure to become an official Fedora
developer (except, as people mentioned, possibly getting a job at Red
Hat).
The Fedora project is not unlike most other OSS projects. Your status
as a developer is based on your reputation, and little else. So, if
you're asking about a procedure to become a developer, it might look
like this:
1. Lurk on the project mailing lists for a few weeks to assess the
tone of the list, observe the key developers and coordinators of
the project, and practiced list etiquette (this varies from list
to list).
2. Start putting your name out by answering questions on the list.
It's especially important that you put research behind your
posts to the list. If you come across as clueless, your
reputation will be immediately tarnished.
3. See what areas of the project need development. Start off with
small, low impact areas, such as documentation or small bug
fixes. Or, if relevant, you might want to scratch your own itch
with a certain feature, but make sure you keep the scope of
impact to the project as low as possible.
4. Read all relevant documentation on contributing to the project
and follow it closely. For example, some projects may detail
the process of submitting patches. Deviate from that process
and not only might you be flamed, but future contributions will
be seen in a biased way.
5. Once you've established a name for yourself in the community,
you might consider volunteering for larger responsibilities that
few people like to do, such as webmaster, release coordinator,
documentation grammar nazi, etc. What's available depends on
the project.
6. With a good name and reputation, your opinions will weigh much
more in discussions. This is important, and is key in being
recognized in any OSS project.
If you want to get involved in Fedora, read and follow all the docs at
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/.
Cheers,
Jason.

At the moment anyone can contribute to the extras to be by following the
guidelines at fedora.us. Once Cristian has finished burying various remaining
problems there will be actual official paperwork for fedora extras and core
contributors proper (probably closely akin to the apache contributor agreement).
That is something we have to do for obvious reasons.
Obviously anyone with issues about that can run their own or contribute
to other repositories
