Seeing the size of the pull request queue that is always on the verge of <br>
exploding, I believe we need more people who actively use their merge <br>
rights than the contrary. The below statistics of who merged the last <br>
1000 pull requests is pretty telling:<br>
<br>
Merges per person:<br>
nyalldawson: 588<br>
m-kuhn: 62<br>
troopa81: 59<br>
3nids: 58<br>
rouault: 54<br>
alexbruy: 45<br>
wonder-sk: 41<br>
lbartoletti: 27<br>
elpaso: 20<br>
nirvn: 16<br>
uclaros: 13<br>
jef-n: 5<br>
strk: 4<br>
mhugent: 2<br>
signedav: 2<br>
rldhont: 2<br>
tomkralidis: 1<br>
PeterPetrik: 1<br>

I shouldn't speak for Nyall, but if I was in his position, I would feel <br>
overwhelmed and would enjoy more people helping. This also shows there's <br>
no obvious Oslandia's uptaking of the project.<br>
<br>
If we are really concerned about security reasons and want to keep a ~ <br>
single person merging into the main repository (but that would be <br>
officially adopting a benevolent dictatorship model), we need to <br>
structure the project in a completely different way, for example ala <br>
Linux kernel, with a repository/tree per "component" (3D, server, <br>
processing, etc.), with one responsible for each repository, and them <br>
sending big pull requests to the main integrator. But that would <br>
certainly complicate and slow down QGIS development (hard to tell if it <br>
would be a good or bad thing). QGIS is probably in an intermediate <br>
position between the typical small/medium github project and the huge <br>
project like the Linux kernel.<br>
