Exactly - so surely if we nominate a "trunk manager" they would perform that role? That would work, wouldn't it? Their job would be to accept fully tested patches into trunk, or reject immature or broken patches. They would be like the "Linus" of ReactOS, the guy who says whether stuff is good enough to get into trunk or not.
