The bugzilla thing is what makes the difference, IMHO. git-push and |
| 8 |
git-send-email are one shoot simple commands to get things done. Having |
| 9 |
to open the web browser, connect to bugzilla, attach the patch and |
| 10 |
comment online is too much busy. |

Yes, having a few maintainers team with write access to the whole |
| 19 |
portage tree and contributors sending patches to them or to official |
| 20 |
package maintainers making the first review before they do the merge and |
| 21 |
submit to the main maintainers. Something like the kernel with |
| 22 |
the main maintainers, the lieutenants and open contributors. |
