FYI, what Karoly proposes is exactly how the Mozilla project works. Each patch needs a "super review" from a fixed (but large) list of reveiwers. See http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/
Those who have bothered to stick around and listen long enough while I ramble will know that I'm actually in favor of this kind of approach. I think it has several benefits : * Clear responsibility - in case of questions, complications, etc - the "buck stops" at a defined point for resolution. * Allows for "domain experts" - very frequently patches come in that can have tricky, subtle implications for some of the more complicated systems (menu, formapi, search etc etc etc) and it's *really* hard (frankly too much to ask) for the few core committers to have comprehensive understanding of all of Drupal at this level. * Makes MAINTAINERS.txt actually mean something. * Rewards solid effort from community members. etc... I think at the very least it's a concept worth pursuing. -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/ :: xmpp:walkah@walkah.net
