Schwern and I have been chatting on IRC about Perl support in TextMate. We're both fairly prolific Perl developers and would like to be able to maintain the Perl Bundle on behalf of the Perl community.
What's the situation with getting a commit bit for the Bundles repo?

Is that the page you meant? I can't see any mention of getting commit.

Traditionally people just start making a bunch of patches or totally rework one of the poorly maintained bundles. They send the new and improved version to this list and/or share it around on IRC. If users like the changes, we will generally commit them.
Then if Allan feels you would make a good maintainer, he usually provides access for you. (Just be aware that he's on vacation right now, so it may take him a bit to get back into the swing of things.)

Thanks James.

The current maintainer for that bundle is Gerd Knops (you can find out from the info.plist), so the best way to get patches to the bundle is either send them to him or to this list.
As James has said the general way to get commit access to an existing bundle is to have a good record of submitting solid patches. The way it generally works is that several people have commit access to a bundle and the maintainer watches to make sure the contributions work well together and follow some sort of internal conventions for things like snippet triggers, etc.
For bundles that don't have a maintainer you can send patches to this list or to me at bundles@textmate.org
