Jeremy,

I can't talk for other projects, so let's talk about Rally specific.

We have single .git in root for whole project.

We have 4 subdir that can have own maintainers:
- rally/deploy
- rally/verify
- rally/benchmark
- rally/plugins

First 3 subdir are quite different and usually isolated communities.
Plugins are not so hard to review and mostly developed part.

If I would be able to have cores for specific areas that will scale up
code reviewing process a lot
without any trust, process, social, arch, whatever changes in project.


Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
