From my perspective, DJ is on the money with:

except I'd substitute "gEDA" for "pcb". I know what I want to do with
gEDA, but the sheer scale of the codebase is intimidating and
cooperating on patch triage/approval would be a way to actively change
that.

In a project of this scale, there will *always* be a hierarchy of
developers. Whether that hierarchy is implicit or explicit is up to
us.

If we want to trial this model, I'm personally happy to become one of
the "second-class developers" as Kai-Martin put it - to do some patch
triage for gEDA tools in general, not just pcb.
