i wouldn't bet on that statement. it's not been true for web modules so
far, and i've repeatedly considered an acl on kdm, simply because 2/3 of
the unreviewed commits need fixing anyway, and i like having a clean
history.
what i'd *really* like is having a magic git push which first tries to
really push, and when it fails, it automatically files a merge request
in gitorious (or fires a mail to the maintainers if it is not a
gitorious-hosted project). at the other end, gitorious should really
have a button "apply merge request", configurable to do a merge or
cherry-picking depending on project preferences. for merges which need
to be applied client-side (conflicts), a tool like qtdf's git-review
script would work just fine.  that way one could enforce project policy
without making the procedure discouraging for contributors. that
shouldn't be even hard to do ...
