I don't think I agree with you here. The idea of Deimos, i.e. a
central repository of "no-fluff" C bindings (which are
relatively static in nature anyway), is not bad at all. It is
just the execution that could be improved.
For example, yes, I think it would definitely make sense to
give the original authors push access after an initial review.
And yes, a unified directory structure is sorely needed to get
the most out of the Deimos concept.
But still, I don't see why this would make Deimos a bad idea at
all.

Deimos seems like a great idea to me too, and I also agree it
will need to be re-organized to allow updates to happen a lot
faster. I can understand being overly cautious with the language
and compiler, but C bindings are not in the same category by a
long shot and need to be maintained by the people who actually
use them.
