Maybe not so off-tropic, Linus have talked precisely about that today:

http://www.tuxradar.com/content/linuxcon-rountable-torvalds-quotes

On documentation:
?In the kernel we have this sign-off process, where patches as they flow
through people are supposed to be signed off. And we had legal reasons
for doing it initially, and the legal reasons have kind of gone away
because nobody worries about SCO very much anymore. But it turns out
it?s a really nice flow process, where people actually see how code came
in, so it?s nice, and I?m seeing that in a number of non-kernel projects
too. So I think there may not be a lot of documentation about how the
kernel does it, but I think a lot of open source people do see the
kernel model and it actually ends up being, the same way there?s this
Unix mindset of how things are supposed to work, I think the kernel
model has actually become this mindset of how open source projects are
supposed to work, at least for a subset of projects out there.?
