what if Han-Wen or John pops in to make a quick bugfix (say, to
the translation handling stuff), hasn't spent 10 hours to read all
-devel emails from the past month, and pushes directly to master?
we haven't documented dev/staging anywhere, so we can hardly blame
them for following that procedure.

also, what if any doc writer wants to write docs for your latest
and greatest features, or if programmers want to simplify stuff by
using your music function syntax stuff, etc?  Having a dev/staging
that's more than a day away from master is not a good thing.

and there's no point having everbody work on dev/staging instead
of master; we'll still get random breakage and so we'll be no
better off than having everybody working on master.
