Uh, no.  The reason there are so few committers is that there are so few
people qualified not to break things.

If we had a community with hundreds of people with commit access, very
possibly we'd be feeling the need of a better SCM system.  But right
now, CVS is not the bottleneck, and I don't see that we'd get a payback
for the pain of changing to something else.
