Daniel, for non-developers like Github is indeed a blocking thing. Developer tools are just too complicated.
A web interface to contribute to rules is the best may to go for xml rules, I guess. But then, there has to be some form of levels of access, a workflow from developing a rule to test, integrate and make it productive. The step from integration testing to production should be limited to the ' master' .
