Strongly agreed. Actually for *my* packages I consider (not more yet) even a more free, wiki-style approach. E.g. something like "if you think something should be fixed, feel free to fix it in cvs. But please leave building the packages and major updates up to the maintainers" > thl outlines the benefits in the > policy draft.
