good to hear from you Charles, First, let me say that I'm very happy that you're encouraging and getting your users to contribute styles. As for serials, yes, I agree this is a great idea - I just mentioned to Sean (of Zotero) that I'm a little wary of monetary bounties, but serials as bounty sound like a great solution to me.
I'm happy for Charles to have commit access - that seems like the most convenient solution for everyone (though I'd be happy to handle pull requests, too). The obvious expectation would be that you validate any style before committing it - as Rintze explains the repository is for valid csl 1.0 styles only (we're e.g. also not committing styles with csl 1.0.1 features even when they're already functional in citeproc-js and thus Zotero). As for the papers specific variables you added - I believe PMID and PMCID are planned so those could just be mapped back to generic csl variables once they're introduced. Is there any reason you're not mapping papers_note to "note"?
