A DVCS makse _not_ having push access to official repositories far
nicer though. Qt's git repository has become a real nice example of
this, with developers pulling in patches from thirdparty contributors in
a much shorter timeframe than before. At least, that's my impression.

While I disagree that we need to have this commit-bit discussion now, we
shouldn't be blindly reject other workflows without carefully evaluating
their merit. I do think that what Johannes suggests has merits, in terms
of improving quality.
