Just to speak up for the opposite:

1) Voting. Having the communities views [- the committers on a project] be
the ones whose votes count on a release is a good sanity check I believe.
Obviously if there's a lack of interest thenthe committers votes become
important, but release-managers should be hoping for 3 +1 votes from
non-committers.

2) Karma. Being able to fix things in other projects is a great way to
build cross-community. However it does have the danger of someone doing a
stupid commit with a mistake etc.

[For example, I'm about to commit a typo fix to the commons sql project]
