So what's the status of opening cvs/svn/whatever for people ro + rw for experienced contributors? This works quite well - PLD is for example developed in this style (but in contrast to Fedora there are no people who are paid for working on PLD).
There are people who have plenty of time and could do such job for free.
Fedora _Core_ is controlled *only* by @redhat.com people.
For now it is, but your contributions and discussion here has already made a large impact into what is in the distribution.
In the longer run, the goal is to have many packages in both FC and FE with @redhat.com and community maintainers. Many peripheral end-user packages like gaim, thunderbird, sylpheed, gftp, and others, would greatly benefit from multiple maintainers and the combined man-power because the risk is much lower than core dependency packages. Some more sensitive and likely-to-break-servers packages can have external maintainers who are heavily involved upstream. For example ESR + fetchmail.
