This wiki page has a bit of info on the different account levels:

According to the history for that page the how to become a janitor has always been pending. The page is also so out of date that contributor talks about being active in the IRC.

I assume, in general, it involves not being a dick, helping others to not be dicks, and continuing to not be a dick for a long time.

Janitors often get picked from Contributors as far as I'm aware, as after posting a lot without too many deletions it shows they know where the line of good/bad quality is, and you can swap "IRC" for "Discord". It should be updated to include those, but the info's not wrong otherwise.

Not to mention that it doesn't include the Former Staff rank at all. From what I've been told, that rank is between the Contributor and Janitor. (It used to have some perks that Contributor doesn't get, such as rating locking, but those are currently unimplemented on the new site.)

Users do sometimes get promoted directly from Privileged, but yes, Janitors must have a good grasp of the quality standards. After all, they can approve posts and process flags, so they must be capable of that. And having a good history of uploads/flags is one way to show that off.
