(And the CVS commit messages are sent to this list.)

We could implement this policy for the stable branch, but for the
development branch it means much work due the more frequent changes;
and the latency for getting a change distributed is high again.
(Please note that even my first proposal doesn't make anything worse
than it it is done currently. Current procedure is that one person
makes a change, releases it (including the binary package). And then
other people can review the change; I believe this almost never
happens.)
