Hi I think you may be on to something great here, however I still wonder if a branch and merge would work even better.
For the fun of it, I'll take an example David mentioned a while back, a clean room accounting system. This is a large project that is likely to take a long time to develop, even in a collaborative environment, and will probably require significant testing before being dumped into svn trunk. Because it's likely to take a long time during development, a branch and merge might make more sense instead of merging and upgrading in the way Jonathan mentioned, since there are likely to be lots of conflicts that will need to be resolved over time. Regardless, having more committers definitely helps build the community, and for that I am excited.
