I don't think that this would work... at least not as long as we use an
update-stream.
It's realy easy to destroy the system with an update. We had example of
faulty updates
that manage to slip into the stream and replacing the changesets on the
server is of
course possible, but it disrupts everything somehow...
All in all I am sceptic that the "wiki" aproach could work for code.
Just think about the security
implications... but it would be an interesting thing to think about a
system that would make
this possible.
