Believe me, this will not happen :-) A lot of people will tell you their
ticket is very important and needs to be in the upcoming release...

Not sure, you can screw up a small release too. I think that good tests will
help a lot. Don't do structural changes (prototype->jquery, rails2->3,
database changes, large refactoring) if not necessary.
Reviewing each other's patches helps. Furthermore, develop new stuff on
branches and keep master stable seems to work. Consider _why_ stuff is
failing (missing test, not thought about the failing scenario, unfinished
implementation)

Planning releases where developers work in their spare time will not work
:-) Diapers and stuff will get a higher priority :-)

This is a big advantage, although I do think people contributing a patch are
able to run master for themselves...
