But surely this will result in extreme confusion with user A's patch
being overwritten or modified by user B or BOTH.

Just to be more clear you should specify that all patches go into
/changes/username and the originals are NOT patched directly.
Obvious ? Not necessarily. ;-)

This could result in 5 different versions of say INIT.C in 5 different
directories - which is safe - but how does one decide which gets compiled
into the release version ?

CC'd to you because this list could go down at any moment. <G>
