[Opensim-dev] Comments or quick feedback on an OpenSim Github Commit

[Mike Chase]

Why would it be committer only?

You could certainly use pull requests.  Changes get made on a branch and 
then a pull request is issues.  There can be review comments based on 
the pull request.  Presumably at some point someone on the core team can 
apply the pull request and get the commit into master.

A very common workflow in use all over today.  I think it would be 
beneficial to adopt it.  More learning opportunities and chances for 
comment as things go into MASTER.  But its extra process and the core 
team or a core member would have to own accepting changes after the 
review period completes.
