I'm a little concerned that we're formalising stuff too
much. How big a problem are bad commits to SVN? I've
experienced one on prboom, and from reading the threads
there has been at least one more to wesnoth, both by the
same person.

The commits in question have been caught and reverted. All
the changes go to a public list which we are free to review.
Stuff in trunk does not automatically mean stuff in the
archive. Presumably someone then checks out, adjusts
changelog, performs some quality checks before getting their
sponsor to upload, and the sponsor presumably either also
performs some checks or has an established trust with the
sponsee. (I don't have a regular sponsor so I'd ask
games-team sponsors to weigh in here if this isn't accurate)

Perhaps new people could be encouraged to work on branches
rather than trunk?
