I emphasize then "eventually" and "may".

Here is an addon then:

When there is a cvs commit to a 'bzr maintained' module, the maintainer  
can decide whether he likes it or not and if he does like it, then he can  
issue an update of the readonly bzr mirror. The maintainer now needs to  
issue a bzr merge so that his branch contains the cvs update, too. bzr  
merge is excellent in handling three ways merges so there should not be a  
problem. As the  typical way to contribute to someone else's project is  
submitting patches in the issue queue, this won't be necessary often. Note  
that the current situation is very similar: if you are working on your  
local checkout and someone does a commit against your module then you need  
to merge that. bzr merge is just better for this task.
