That is essentially all that is being proposed. The pull request system already exists on github. Really all the proposal is about is better integrating it with bugzilla, which if anything makes the content more accessible via FOSS tools. Counter-intuitively, the repo itself is actually the part that concerns me the least. With git the local clone you keep on your desktop is just as suitable as any other copy of the repo should we ever have to hit the reset button. The part that isn't distributed is all the comments, discussion, issues, review, etc which generally goes into bugzilla. If that were also a distributed database I'd have few concerns about where that was hosted, since we're essentially talking about the hosting only. -- Rich
