U have given me the code link, but I know this. I wanted to know, just like Gavin can modify and release a next version of Bitcoin-QT, how can I ? What is required to be part of the Bitcoin core development team ?
Did you read the words under development process on that page?
Yes, I read it before I post this topic. Read this...

If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the Bitcoin development team members simply pulls it.
Bitcoin development team members - So they are the code master. So they control the code ? Why ? I want to control the code as well. How ?
It kind of sounds like you don't understand how open source software works. Anyone can control their copy of the code. If there is something you want to control and implement, go to the link above, download it and make the changes you want. If everyone else likes the changes and wants to use them they will, if they don't, then they won't and you may have a fork. Just like there are a number of different bitcoin clients that implement the protocol, you can do so too, either from the code referenced above or from scratch.
If you want to be part of the core devs of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin, make a substantial contribution in doing some coding, testing etc. Take part in the community and earn the respect by writing quality code, that is well tested, well documented, and useful. Essentially do the things under this link:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin#development-process
U probably missed my first question and judged me on my last answer. I asked about the process of getting into core dev team. Have anyone really been the part of core dev team after BTC touched $1000 last year. AFAIK NO. You are talking about, if people like. So what, if people like and use ? My code will be accepted. Will I be accepted in the core team ? Is anyone really allowed there anymore ? It seems this is becoming dictatorship, if there is no well defined way to be part of the core dev team. If everyone else likes the changes is not a well defined process.
p.s. Bitcoin is not like Mozilla. It is a financial project claiming decentralized currency. Effect on the code changes of Bitcoin has far wider effect than changes on Mozilla.
Just because you don't like the answer does not change it. Write lots of quality, tested code etc as above. Or write your own client etc.
Remember, changes to the code are different than changes to the protocol.
