I'm sure you could cobble up a Perl/sh script to be run when you commit
something, that would place an entry in a .calendar file X time in the
future (2 weeks?  a month?  choosable per-commit?), and have calendar run
out of cron/.<shell>rc daily to remind you to merge stuff.

Or some sort of massive 'shared circular whiteboard', where merges bubble
to the top over time for someone to do.
