In the openembedded project all the developers have
write access to the development tree and can create
their own branches within the tree.

This makes it a lot easier to test other peoples patches.

If you look at the statistics for the user repositories,
you see that there are 5 people with user repositories,
including mine, and last updates were from

correa:          3 months ago,
wberrier:       2 months ago,
tpetazzoni:   9 days ago

This does not indicate a high level of popularity to me.
Maybe people are keeping trees in other locations, but
that means that they are hidden from most users.

In reality, the way Buildroot works today seems to be that
people are sending patches to the mailing-list.

It is fairly easy to set up common git trees,
by creating a "common" user with a git subdirectory
and then have a symbolic link in each user directory
to this git directory with group write permissions.
