I absolutely agree with Phil here. The twisted code and contribution standards are so high that patches from new contributors (like myself) are bound to be rejected/resubmitted at least once, maybe more. Don't get me wrong, I believe high standards are a good thing, but doing continuous development based on tools like svn and trac is really painful and it's really difficult to motivate yourself to work on a once rejected ticket. That being said, I believe that the move to a DVCS is a smart move for any project looking for continuous community contribution, because IMHO they simply allow for a more developer friendly process for all involved, thus making the whole review process a more friendly and less discouraging thing.
