I think the real question here is whether we can get all (or at least
a solid majority of) committers to accept such draconian constraints.
I'd buy into it, and evidently so would you, but I can't help noting
that less than a quarter of active committers have bothered to
comment on this thread.  I suspect the other three-quarters would
be quite annoyed if we tried to institute such requirements.  That's
not manpower we can afford to drive away.

Maybe this should get taken up at the this-time-for-sure developer
meeting at PGCon?
