Not really...  We already have a QA project.  Join it.  If certain
developers are constantly breaking QA, inform them.  If they continue to
do it after being warned, go to devrel.  While the QA team can go and
clean up some things, it should only really do so *once* and inform the
developer.  Otherwise, the developer might not honestly know that he is
doing something incorrectly, or that anyone is even paying attention.
Doing this allows for a cleanup of the tree, without putting
restrictions arbitrarily on the entire developer pool.
