The original proposal needs to be more crisply stated.  I think all Mike
wanted to propose was "ApacheCon work should go into the alpha branch,
and all such work will eventually be merged back to the trunk", and not
actually mandate a specific process for that merging.

For my part:

+1 on "All apachecon work gets directly committed into the alpha branch"
+1 on "submitters own merging each commit back to the trunk and should
do it ASAP".  I would further propose that doc submissions be given more
leniency here; I think it'll be more efficient for such submissions to
be batched up for merging back to the trunk, and they don't suffer from
the conflict issues that code does.
