You might consider setting up individual branches, and a release
branch; people commit to their own branch, solicit comments, and when
the review is done, those changes can be pulled into the release
branch.
This is the way that the linux kernel works, and is also the way
that policy is set up; and using git/arch/bzr/mercurial instead of CVS
would also help.
