This question has been discussed before on this list:

See especially Jeroen's answer.

Best,

> PERSONAL OPINION / MOTIVATION:

> * R Community.
> * And R-Core.
> For:
> * R Bug Fixes.
> * And Core Feature Wishlist.
> As anyone would be able to:
> * Check the unassigned bugs in Bugzilla (apart from R-Core).
> * And propose bugs fixes by themselves as Pull requests (by mentioning the
> Bug ID of Bugzilla or the Mailing Lists).
>
> This would allow that _individuals_ either from Universities or Companies
> interested in the Development of R:
> * apart of donating economical resources to the R Foundation.
> * could help to maintain core R Code by themselves.
> Which aligns with the true spirit of R, which shall be done from
> contributing individuals, for individuals themselves.

> It would also allow to put the focus on the precise lines of code changed
> with each Commit, and revert changes in an easy way, without verbose
> E-mails: Tidy, Clean, Maintainable, and Fast.
>
> At last, I noticed R-devel Archives do not have an E-mail Id (Unique
> Unsigned Integer), so it would be a good idea to add one for pull requests
> if Git was adopted.
