Has this actually been a problem? I know the commit-queue broke something today when landing a patch for Evan Martin, but he was on IRC and I made sure he was on the hook to watch the bots before I had to leave. If I've landed things via commit-queue and not cleaned up after them, I certainly

It seems like if you are a committer, you should still be able to use the commit queue, you just need to do it responsibly. If the problem is with people setting the bit and walking away, why not include a warning to the effect of: Setting commit-queue+ is equivalent to svn commit so it is
