Well, they have read-only access. If git feels scary, I can easily set up
git-cvsserver at work to make those who prefer a "blind" checkout without
history less scary.
However, one other nice property of git is that it makes it ridiculously
easy to have distributed developer teams set up. German community wants
to run a Nagios hackathon? Sure, go ahead. Hendrik, Joerg or someone else
me, Ton and Ethan trust can just publish a git repository with reviewed
changes when they're done, and we'll merge, test and release their stuff
without hesitation. Possibly with a quick glance to make sure backwards
compatibility isn't broken with regards to eventbroker modules, but I
doubt even such things will be necessary, and that's where git truly
shines: It lets you distribute trust in a very simple way.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
