Having a consistently outstanding submission history here at RR with accurate info is one of the big criteria. Also extensive accurate knowledge
of how frequencies are used in MA. Add in that existing MA Database Admins
have some insight into potential candidates.
A lot of consideration goes into the process to make sure the integrity of the database is maintained.

As Marshall points out, having a solid, consistent history of accurate, relevant and representative submissions is a key criteria for consideration. If you have a history of poor or rejected submissions, which indicates a lack of knowledge or understanding about the area, that's going to kill your chances of even being considered. If you submit data that is inaccurate, counterproductive, misleading or would serve to lower the quality of the database, you certainly would not be entrusted with the ability to directly maintain the database, as you'd wind up doing more harm than good.

Generally speaking, of course.
