And it really is pretty much that simple. I expect (and this is personal opinion, I'm not an SA dev) that the rules subproject will sooner or later consist of annointed developers that have been granted checkin ability on the source base, and the project will also accept contributions from people that aren't developers. These contributions may be accepted as they are, or perhaps partially or completely reworked. Or may be rejected or ignored. Which is really no different than any open source project. People start contributing to the project. At some point the developers say "hey, this guy is doing lots of good stuff. Maybe we should just make him a developer and save ourselves the effort of having to check in his patches!" So they ask the person if they want to be a developer, and if they do, they are in.
