Hum, I didn't follow all commits to CVS, but it seems to me most of 
major changes are at least announced on the mailing list, and patches 
sent for testing. Am I wrong here?
Also features are discussed here, on #crossfire, on the message board.

The root problem here is the questionable code check in, no?

I'd suggest more something like 'you commit code, fine, it breaks the 
game, YOU fix it'.

One thing for making maps is testing. That's why some people wanted a 
server for Win32, to test their maps.
Though it seems to me that most people are either players or developers, 
thus not making many maps, but more playing or contributing to the code ^_^
