Yes, I've been thinking about something like that for a while now, too. Problem is, while it would be easy to add smaller patches & fixes (and it would prove a very valuable tool for that), decisions that would add code refactorings would have to be controlled thoroughly, if added at all - the same for patches that add real new functionality (new command line switches), or that changes the behaviour of pass.
Something like that would need a "checked thoroughly by three people on the mailing list and deemed as useful"-approach or something..?
