Thanks for initiating this discussion - all sounds pretty good to me,
and I agree with all the feedback which has been raised so far.  I
think pull request discussions are largely working very well so far,
and should overflow into IRC / the mailing list when necessary.
I also agree that we should be careful not to introduce any
significant new overhead into the process.

Well, we already have: https://trello.com/b/dHi6lDYL/crowbar-ownership
the purpose of which was pretty much the same thing - to assign areas
of ownership to individuals.  Note however that it's not just the core
codebase that needs to be owned, e.g. places like the website, wiki,
Jenkins etc. too.

What do you mean exactly?  Efforts are already protected by the
licensing, right?  There's no copyright assignment required to
contribute IIRC, so I think contributors retain copyright.  See also
the CLAs (although I don't understand why these are necessary ...)
