[zeromq-dev] Felix Geisendörfer's "hack", C4 process

[Charles Remes]

I think this is a fantastic idea. One of the other open source projects where I contribute (github.com/rubinius) has had a similar policy in place for the last several years. The project literally has over 100 committers. Their idea was that if you create even one patch (or pull request) that is accepted, then you get a "commit bit" to the repository.

The fear has always been that this would lead to some maliciously committing bad patches or otherwise causing trouble, but those incidents have been very rare in practice.

So, put me down as another supporter for this idea.
