Hi,

I will state again. svn access does not scale like testing and
debugging does. You can't scale up commit access and retain quality,
consistency and productivity. Might I suggest reading a text like the
Mythical Man Month will give you a few pointers about the delicate
balance of development scaling.
how about having some tree of patch flow like e.g. linux kernel? Robert
at the top -> some people with experience on some subsystems/build
configs -> users/other devs.
People on the second level are targets for some user bug reports. They
bash patches into what they believe are good condition and send up to
Robert. Robert can still review, but will hopefully not have to fix
trivial things (e.g. style/build problems). Second level can have some
"Signed off by:" attached to patches sent up to hopefully inspire some
level of confidence/quality higher up.
Comments?
PS. I've come across this great lecture series (with videos) from Andrew
Tridgell (of Samba fame). Lecture 7: FOSS Governance might be of
interest (in the sense of being informative, not prescriptive).
