The simplest way to deal with this is to give anyone who wants it, commit access to their own branch on git.linuxcnc.org. Somebody could have multiple branches for different ideas, including a 'Sid' branch if they are interested in being its maintainer. Commit access to master, v2.4_branch, and v2.5_branch are restricted to their respective release managers. Maybe there's even some add-on program you can get for a git server that facilitates collaboration and implements a "pull request" type system for the local developers. Does anyone know if that's possible?
