That wouldn?t scale well, and there?d probably be lots of merge commits
if everyone can push, leading to a needlessly twisted history.

Having Eelco have to approve every single commit would avoid that, but
it wouldn?t scale well.  ;-)

So it would be great if something similar to the Patch Queue Manager
(PQM) of Arch/Bazaar could be used.  And eventually some sort of PQM
coupled to Hydra, which would merge iff nothing breaks.

Thanks,
Ludo?.
