Ie I'd organize it like some of the "checkin committees" work for other projects that have nowhere _near_ as much work going on as Linux has. That seems to work well for small projects - and we can try to keep this "small" exactly by having the strict rules in place that would mean that 99% of all patches wouldn't even be a consideration.
Maybe setting up a mailing list where all the patches have to be posted before inclusion in this tree, would help the maintainer(s) a lot.
Since we expect little traffic (at least compared to LKML) a lot of developers (even "small" developers like myself) can review all the patches for correctness, and throw quite a few eyes on them. The more eyes, the less a chance for bugs to slip by.
Just a thought,
