I'd be a fan of this. Giving everyone a fair shot at making a comments both positive and negative sounds like a great idea.

Perhaps this is something to bring up at the conference? About how to enforce this? policy vs. procedure, etc. I'm not sure tying a core everyone's hands is the best idea.

>From my prospective I'd love to have a shot at "smoking" more branches w/ SmokeStack. Once those "breaking" commits land it makes it that much harder to classify merge props.
