Hi,

How about working using the github flow[1][2] instead of commiting straight to
master?

This would force at least *one* other dev to quickly code-review anything
making it into the master branch. It's not incredibly burdensome, but it adds a
second pair of eyes to every line - something quite valueable in a security
proyect, IMHO.

Just my two cents,
