In the pull request model, any change needs to be approved before it's merged.

In Wikipedia, changes are allowed by default, only later reverted or corrected if necessary.

I wonder if open source #software projects could use the Wikipedia model instead.
Maybe with a twist that tests can't be changed, but anything that passes tests gets merged automatically.

@kornel rfc.zeromq.org/spec/42/#23-pat describes a process that is shiften in that direction: the expectation is that anything that satisfies a list of requirements gets merged. IIUC zeromq and a few projects that Pieter HIntjens was involved in use (or used to use) variations of this.
