Won't help.  We have a large funnel and the end of the funnel is a 
committer.  There is no way for the committer to catch up with all 
commits.  We need more committers to resolve that issue.

It'd be interesting and bazaar to see another repository of Drupal core 
where all CVS account holders could commit patches after review.  I 
wonder just how broken its HEAD would be.
