The bugzilla thing is what makes the difference, IMHO. git-push and git-send-email are one shoot simple commands to get things done. Having to open the web browser, connect to bugzilla, attach the patch and comment online is too much busy. > > With Gentoo, you have to find a mentor, officially call for > > being a member, success the online tests, keep mentored some time.

Yes, having a few maintainers team with write access to the whole portage tree and contributors sending patches to them or to official package maintainers making the first review before they do the merge and submit to the main maintainers. Something like the kernel with the main maintainers, the lieutenants and open contributors. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
