It's not that bad, really - the Apache developers have used consensus
voting for a long time now to approve patches. Basically three people
have to approve the patch by eyeballing it and/or testing it out, and so
long as no one vetoes it, it can be committed. We also have the
source code in a CVS tree to which a group of 12 or so have commit access.
We commit 5-15 patches a week on the code, sometimes more, and that would
be the only way we'd be able to make progress on the code. I'm sure the
FreeBSD crowd has an even more developed process. And we're all as
well-compensated for our work as you are :)
Of course, that's with working from a solid core - if the code's going to
get a significant revamp anytime soon (as it sounds like it will with 2.0)
then it's best to figure out the architecture and lay it out before
allowing multiple developers.
Brian
