One feature "missing" from Fossil is a way to restrict checkins on the 'trunk' 
(or other branch) to certain people.

This is necessary in a group where the methodology is for a "gatekeeper" to 
approve integration into the main line of development.

Has there been any thought along those lines?  In my perfect scenario, a 
branch (including trunk) may have an ACL list which would restrict who could 
do what operations on it.

The way I envision it working is that if a branch has an ACL, it would get 
checked against the current user and kind of access, which would be approved 
accordingly.

In current practice, I have two repositories, one with "golden" code and 
another to which any developer can contribute.  This is a little bit painful, 
as you can imagine.

Thoughts?
