That sounds almost like gcc, only worse. I think there is something of a problem currently, tough. It is getting too hard to get code in if you're not a maintainer for an existing subsystem (reiser4, suspend2...), and too easy when you're a maintainer (ext4, uswsusp...). Ext patches don't get reviewed much outside of the developpers, and they go in pretty much without discussion in any case, except when Linus blows a fuse. Reiser4 would have be in without discussion if it had been a set of patches through time to reiser3, and would have been called 4 only when Linus yelled. I suspect some balancing would be useful.
