We normally give r/w access to individuals. With write access you have
the possibility to create user branches. After you fixed/added/whatever
a certain feature you can propose your changes on the list and if its
fine it can be merged.

I think the closest you can get with git is that one person commits on
behalf of someone else, e.g. git commit --author <the other person>

Of course it would also be possible to give write access to more people.

The OE team. Someone proposes you and then the rest of OE informally
votes. If no one has strong objections which needs to be discussed
write access will be granted.

I will write that proposal for you. :)

Regards
Robert
