And to those who will say "git will fix everything" I should point out nothing in this thread is fixed by having easier access restrictions (ie, restricting access from all of core, to all extensions, to a specific extension -- the last which git solves), and instead tries to look at the question of "do we want this code in the community repository?"

Small side note, better access separation isn't the only thing the git migration does. The plan seams to be to use a gated trunk model. One with gerrit such that anyone can have a labs/git account, using that account you can push a commit and it shows up a changeset in gerrit, from there once it's reviewed it makes it's way into trunk. Under that model of committing to trunk everyone is pretty much equal. Whether you're a long-time committer or you just got an account a second ago by filling out a form and getting one automatically anyone can get a change in for review and changes are reviewed individually by developers rather than forcing non-developers to deal with reviewing a person based on their past code.
