My points exactly. In this case the clang github commits have been
going to our commit-list and those commits have had quite a bit of
review according to mails. So this is an edge case in that regard.

In the bigger picture I think we need a way to keep track, and give
better support to possible contributors.
Right now there are so many hoops to jump through for potential
non-GSoC contributors and quite a bit of work for devs as well. So I
think it's not really good for anyone.

I understand that full commit access needs to be restricted, but we
need better ways to get there for both the contributor and the devs.
Not sure how to solve that though.
