No, Monotone needs some concept of "permitted committers".  (It's very
very high on my list at least, once some of the bug churn right now
stabilizes.)  But I think we can achieve something more flexible than
requiring every branch to have a single owner.  You can definitely
have control, and ways to keep track of which committed changes are
not actually in your branch (because the committers don't have
permissions), i.e. "proposed bug fixes", keep track of merging them,
etc., without a unique owner.
