: FWIW, concur.

How is it different than publishing patches on a web site?  There are
a number of tools that one needs to have to get the patches, just like
in P4.  The P4 repo is available from cvsup10, so you don't even need
to install P4 to see the patches.

Our CVS meisters have told us in the past that branches on the CVS
tree are bad, and NetBSD's experience is that not more than one or two
are sustainable in the long run.

I don't think P4 is the problem here.  The problem is communication,
expectations and work habits.
