I also see svn as part of the problem. I think a move towards the
linux-kernel development model would be a great benefit.

Using git would allow users to make many small fixes in their own tree
and send single a pull request for fixes to x,y and z to a member of the
patch review team for ACK or NAK who can then commit to master.
Hopefully this will result in fewer stray patches.

The original user will then show up in git blame and will make tracing
errors far easier. Currently, unless you have commit rights, everything
comes from one of the few core developers and you have to manually look
up the changeset to figure out who is responsible for it.
