As a) a newbie myself, b) someone scared to death of the development
process but still wanting to be involved, and c) one who wants a lot of things developed that will benefit the Koha community as a whole but specifically help Koha to work for archival institutions, I'm going to go against what seems to be the position of my support company (ByWater Solutions) and side with Paul on this one. I'd be more willing to contribute to if I were "in a special state that ensures that what I'm doing will be reviewed by someone experienced !" The way Paul describes, I think, makes everyone "special" - which we all are - just in different ways. IMHO, it's not as much a "hierarchy" (I'm better than you are and therefore look down on you) situation, as a fact of life. I don't know what the compromise is, but I think there is bound to be one.
Sorry, if I overstepped by voicing my opinion, since I'm not sure I even
get a vote.

Everyone gets a vote. And as Owen said you aren't actually siding against ByWater (im not sure there even are sides), all new patches get oversight, in fact ALL patches get oversight. Thats the current process. What we are discussing, and there seems to be a good discussion on IRC about how to make it easier for people to provide oversight. I am very heartened the discussion is moving in that direction, because I think that is where we win. Make the sign off easier, not remove the need for sign off Chris

developers. A-developers = you can auto-sign_off B-developer: a person of an other firm need to sign_off your patch
This discussion started in part because people were talking about how to get more people involved in Koha development. Setting up a hierarchy like this doesn't sound like a good way to get more people involved.
Strongly disagreeing: many projects uses that kind of organisation. And as a newbie i would be happy to know i'm in a special state that ensure that what I'm doing will be reviewed by someone experienced !
Let me say also that getting more ppl involved does also mean not loosing your existing contributors (which is what will arrive with BibLibre contributions if we can't find an agreement that is OK for everybody)
