This is done by sending a message to the QAIG's public mailing-list www-qa@w3.org (with a copy to the public mailing-list public-evangelist@w3.org if the article is related to web standards education or outreach).
After a two week minimum review period, the article may be approved for publication by one of the members of the W3C QA staff or W3C QAIG chair. One person in this group then becomes the editor of the document, while the person (or group of persons) submitting the article remain its author(s).
The document is then published in the QA space of the W3C website as the production of the QA Interest Group, with a specific mention of its original authors.
