I don't know in how many open source projects you're involved, but
all projects I know have a quite rigid policy concerning commits into
the stable tree.

People with a write access bear a certain responsibility. Commiting
without testing is an absolute NO-NO - anywhere and everytime.
Otherwise you're risking the projekt and the community, as the
incidence with Doug clearly showed.

Errors happen, ok - but saying that anyone is invited to commit his
buggiest code is a bit far-fetched. If you think you don't have the
time to test your code, just do not commit it. Submit it to the patch
manager and let others do the rest.
That is the minimal compromise which allows a group of people to work on
the same source base.

Best regards,
  Stephan
