Mhh.. what about (auto-)committing to a D7.x-next branch after two 
independent people have confirmed a patch as working? That would give the 
process of reviewing patches more resoluteness, also liberating the core 
CVS admins to decide what gets in and what not. Patches that don't proof as 
a problem in 7.x-next could then be cherry-picked to 7.x-dev... Of course 
this would make running the next-branch a risky business, but at least it 
helps getting out of the situation where perfectly good and simple patches 
are not applied for weeks and months because the concerning code is being 
completly rewritten on some other issue (module system revamp f.e.)...
