Mailing list w/ gatekeeper(s) --------------------------------- This is how mercurial manages its own development. Proposed changes are sent in patch form to a mailing list, which is dedicated to the discussion and review of such patches. The central repository is read-only except for a small set of integrators. When a change has been reviewed + tested, an integration crew member pulls the patch from email into the central tree. This is the approach I'd suggest for emacs (and it's the one we instituted for the project I maintain at my workplace). The main advantages: I would be willing to try it, or a compromise between this and #1, which would mean a larger number of people who can commit directly to the main repository.
