I totally understand that if you have a large number of contributors, but only a tiny group of committers, then nothing will get done.
I've been watching this discussion from the side lines, but I hope nobody will mind if I leap in.
By all means step in. ;-)
This definately sounds like an interesting approach. I'll do a little research on this to see how it works, and see about posting a proposal to the list.
Why doesn't OOo implement a system like Debian does for its maintainers? To have access to the Debian site, a person has to be vouched for by an have their GPG key signed by at least one existing maintainer, find someone to sponsor them, and serve an apprenticeship to show that they know not only what they want to do for the project, but also that they understand the philosophy. The system can be cumbersome, but it does seem to create a large base of trustworthy people.
