Yes...but we're talking about like the nautilus redesign that wasn't
posted or discussed in that way.

Right, I don't think anyone wants to be the commit police.  I think the
role has to be structured such that changes *always* conceptually go
through the design/release team i.e. we treat the git repos as pull
requests, and both teams are consistently active in looking at the
commits and assisting.

Would that work?  It'd be a big change from the "modules are maintainer
fiefdoms" model, but I do think ultimately if we're talking about doing
something here, that's what would have to change.
