I don't think separate branches would even be needed after all that long, for example at the start just so they get a feel for our SVN and CodeReview methods and to work out what their differences are (and progressively interworking their work into the main trunk) but after a while they would most likely be committing their patches straight to core if they are "sane" (as in usable to a variety of people) so it would just be little local "live" hacks that would be different (if they are even needed at all).
