Well, I meant, that everyone without r/w to OE would create his own account on
preffered Git hosting and there his own OE fork. He'll just send pull request
to mailing list with URL to repository or branch on his own box or somewhere
on public Git hosting, let the contributor decide. This way you don't need to
maintain anything, you'll just cherry-pick what you like or understand from
those branches.

Well, to not overload those public hostings it would be nice/necessary to
mirror OE repo on few of them so the contributors can just fork it, which is
always cheaper and preffered way I think.
