You'd likely need an odd number of folks in this cabal^Winner circle though, or would you just do it and be damned if you got an equal number of 'aye's and 'nay's ? 8-) Other than that, it reminds me of the way the gcc folks work, with a number of people reviewing patches before acceptance [not that this doesn't happen on l-k already], and at least 1 approval from someone prepared to approve submissions. The approval process does seem to be quite a lot of work though. I think it was rth last year at OLS who told me that at that time he'd been doing more approving of other peoples stuff than coding himself.
