I was discussing something like this with RP just when you sent this mail. It's not as straightforward as it may sound, though. First of all, I think we'd need several, possibly unlimited number of FFA branches. Second, RP and I agreed that security implications are a concern if we allow commit access completely uninhibited. >> OE needs a stronger community culture.

I'm talking of things like new bb recipes that can really do no harm unless someone explicitly builds them. There are still a number of them in the bug tracker that are 2, 3 or even more years old. There really is no excuse for that IMHO, not even "I'm not interested in the recipe in question". Recently, I closed a significant number of tickets with recipes that had been reinvented and committed by somebody else in the meantime. What a waste of time on both sides
