Of course, that by itself does not merit being appointed to the board — but it reflects Jonathan has a very good eyesight on very varied kernel subsystems.
Oh, and I could say something quite similar regarding Matthew Garrett, although their respective styles could hardly be any more different ;-)

From the perspective of a technical writer, not a programmer, admittedly, but actually that's an area where the kernel is incredibly weak - well-written documentation written in a comprehensible manner!

Didn't any other senior kernel developers volunteer for this?
If anyone knows any info enlighten me.

I read her nomination too..
I don't have anything against her or women in general.
But I gues she would be as good as any other candidate like Josh Triplett, who was another candidate.
I can't imagine what amount of power this TAB http://www.linuxfoundation.org/programs/advisory-councils... can give you, But I cannot erase the idea that her LKML thread played the winning card in the minds of the voting poeple.
Who ever might be in the TAB, lets hope its for the best.

At the end of the day, the TAB is really a service position. You don't gain power or influence you didn't already have, but you do get a few more opportunities to engage with the community and the Linux Foundation.
Both Matthew and Sarah have a long list of credentials and I look forward to working with them.

As someone who is interested in the kernel, the LF, and the TAB, I'd love to get more insight into what the TAB does. Any chance we could get public minutes postings going again?

She's a kernel subsystem maintainer. That is more than enough to qualify her.

She's a kernel subsystem maintainer with more than 6 years serious involvement. Regarding diversity, you might rather ask why the technical advisory board vastly overrepresents kernel programmers as opposed to people working in userspace who have to actually work with the delivered goods.
Sarah Sharp qualifies just fine among the other kernel developers as far as I can tell, see this article.
I think it would be a rather bad idea to compose a board entirely from "senior kernel developers" (more senior than Sarah, that is) since that would not really provide many new insights.
You could equally well just nominate Linus Torvalds and be done. Business as usual is easy to achieve this manner.

But I guess she became famous overnight with that LKML thread.

While a broad set of press picked up the story of her criticism of unconstructive dialogue -- making it seem as if she were famous overnight -- Sarah was already well known to the community, having been of long-time involvement in intelligent discourse, Linux Plumbers conference, subsystem maintainer, and many other projects. In a service position she has already proven that she will very work hard on any project that is of general value, won't constrain herself to her pet projects or attitudes, and has the necessary bridge-building social skills. The electors apparently feel this is compatible with the TAC's needs and values.

I would imagine that's exactly the angle the parent poster was going for, yes. "I'm only trying to learn. Please help me to understand."
