A reasonable length of time.  Committer rights shouldn't be too exclusively 
held, but you do need to wait long enough to see that someone isn't going to 
start causing headaches left and right.  But that is, as you mention later, a 
characteristic of a centralized repository.

A distributed model would be helpful for getting wider participation; but it's 
a significant change that shouldn't be made lightly.  That said, we might be 
able to move that direction in phases...

I've also seen indications that the spam protection has too many false 
positives. :(
