In projects like gcc and the GNU binutils, we use a MAINTAINERS file.
Some people have blanket write privileges. Some people have write
priviliges to certain areas of the code. Anybody else needs a patch
to be approved before they can check it in. Patches which are
``obviously correct'' are always OK.
The MAINTAINERS file can be used as a guide for who to ask in certain
areas of the code.
This may be overly complex for Postgres now. But I believe that you
will need something of this nature as the project continues to grow.
This permits you to scale to more developers.
Note that the MAINTAINERS file is not enforced by a program. It is
only enforced by people noticing an unapproved checkin message, and
theoreticalliy removing write privileges.
For example, I have appended the gcc MAINTAINERS file.
