The community already shares code through Work In Progress Gerrit
reviews, and not necessarily by landing commits. We pastebin git diffs that
can be quickly shared and applied. We occasionally maintain experimental
branches on personal github accounts. Git itself is decentralized, so
your developers can push and pull from each other directly if
necessary. I'm sure others can suggest more innovative ways to share code
peer-to-peer.

There's no need to create barriers between your developers and the rest of
the world. We're all one community. Please let them join.
