good enough for "Contrib-stable" (not actively developed/supported, too
buggy, foreporting nightmare, side-effects, ...).

Does that cast another light on "Contrib-testing" in your eyes or are
you still opposed to it ?

But then you would need everyone to be able to write to that repo, that sounds
uglier than a wiki page to me.

But I understand your proposal now - and I think it's different to what
Richard proposed.

No, besides the name the proposals are the same. Contrib/unstable should
be a staging area. (Much like we have this extra patches repository
where patches are put early)

Richard.
