Um, pretty much the whole thing; it describes how the whole process
works.  You'd probably want to jump in at number 2) by providing
feedback to help the harvesters decide whether to accept the change.
The "Commenting Bugs and Fixes" link describes exactly how to do this.

If you wish to become a harvester instead of just reviewing changesets, 
http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/45
(linked off the previous URL I sent) says to "post a message to the
SqF mailing list" to convey your willingness to help out.

If this wasn't clear from the page, perhaps we can tweak the wording;
we don't want to discourage potential volunteers.  Was there something
unclear to you about the "Harvesting Process" page?
