from personal experience I can tell how GNU Classpath handles this - for a GNU
project they are pretty liberal AFAIK.
- new contributors send patches marked [RFC] (request for comment) to the
patches mailing list (should we have one ??).
- if accepted a project member with write access commits on behalf of the
contributer.
- after a couple of accepted patches write after approval access is granted,
meaning that a RFC mail is still required, but if the patch is approved the
contributer handles the commit on her own.
- senior members still send all changes as patchs to the list, but as an FYI
(for your information) and commit immediatly.
I don't think we need the last item (AFAIK Classpath mainly does it because of
the somewhat more complicated situation with copyright assignment required by
the FSF).
IMHO this works well and does not scare potential contributors away.
Cheers,
Carsten
