I think this works well with a big team, but this is not the case

I think so, too. Remember that only a handful of people are actually working
on the stable series (far less than the -- anyway less -- developers). This
will be the same with 1.5.x, notwithstanding how excited everybody is about
it currently.
IMO a good prove that the current strategy works is the actual series. 1.4.0
was released with lots of bugs and flaws. Now look at 1.4.4svn: It's still
not perfect, but it stabilized significantly (with any minor release). I
think this is a result of Jean-Marc's conservative door-keeping and his very
careful reviewing of every single patch.
Well, I don't want to diminish JMarc role which was really great but
1.4svn is also stabilizing a lot because most of the bugs were solved
first in 1.5svn.
