Great job, I look forward to seeing this model adopted elsewhere.

This sounds a lot like another large scale project we all know of


".... has long since grown to a size where no single
developer could possibly inspect and select every patch unassisted.  The
way the ... developers have addressed this growth is through the use of
a lieutenant system built around a chain of trust.

The ... code base is logically broken down into a set of subsystems:
...  Most subsystems have a designated maintainer, a developer
who has overall responsibility for the code within that subsystem.  These
subsystem maintainers are the gatekeepers (in a loose way) for the portion
of the .... they manage."

I wonder if we can adopt the rolling development model as well?
