As a non-dev with not a lot of free time, I applaud this suggestion.
However, my core fear is the potential for it becoming subject to
abuse, and people insisting on repeatedly uploading patches that are
not actually wanted / necessary for the project, despite the package
maintainer saying 'dude , stop'

Basically, if a non-maintainer wants maintenance rights, how do they
go about attaining them? ,  an automated service, or some vetting
process?

How do we go about handling the problem with the predicted increase in
collisions?

Is CVS fast enough / flexible enough for such a massive change in users?

(forgive me if I've made a misunderstanding, but im a SVN man, not a CVS'er )
