It's only a problem with Savane's assumptions of how permissions are
handled, in a very centralised CVS-like way. There is no way to grant
someone a per-branch push permission to a repo. It's permission to
push anything to a repo or nothing. The project would have to trust
Stayvoid enough to know Stayvoid will be careful and diligent to not
push to any branch except the one specially created for her or him.

The easiest solution for me right now still seems to be for Stayvoid
to pick another git hosting service like gitorious. It doesn't matter
where a git repo is hosted as long as it's somewhere other people can
access it.
