Sorry to keep replying to my own posts but this idea is growing on me the
more I think about it.

Actually, this is something else we'd leave up to the section maintainers.
If I want to actually *give* maintainence of sendmail to swoolley (for
example), we move it from devel/mail to seth_woolley/mail (p4 integ, p4
delete), and he integrates it from seth_woolley/mail to test/mail. If I
prefer that I see/review the changes going through my section, I just allow
him to take a copy (p4 integ, no delete) and then he integrates from
seth_woolley/mail to devel/mail and I'm responsible for reviewing and
integrating it to test from there. This could of course be mixed and
matched at the section or even spell level depending on what the section
maintainers wanted for oversight for given spells (or given developers,
heh).



Someone please hurry up and tell me what's fundamentally wrong with this
whole idea as well before I get attached to it. :-)
