a bug everywhere, but then, I don't see this as such a big problem. There still would be "trusted core developers" with access to almost everything - or maybe we could let each user decide with an ACL file in her/his user directory, who should have access to it.
I think this is only a good idea if there were already problems, that other developers broke things ... which I cannot really remember. If not, it will only prevent some people from developing, trying to improve other code, improving the build system etc.
iirc, carmen once messed with the plugin~ help files, which was not in everyone's interest.
I see your point, but I think this is more appropriate for a project, where you really have some core developers (or maintainers) which work quite a lot on the code - but I don't think that it is like that in pd! (exception: millers main, maybe the pd-extended-release branch from hans and pd-devel-core)
it would have the advantage, that there is a certain amount of quality assurance, so no one messes with other people's code ... but i guess your observation is correct, currently the cvs is not used as version control system, but rather as a code publishing system.
