I guess you are describing something close to CVS which is widely used on Open Source Application development - where control, regulation,harmony and standard is be maintained.This can not be the case if anyone was allowed develop their own line simply because stuff like bugs identified by one person for instance can never be appropriated for to every partipant if projects were handled separately.CVS does well to correct such issues.
The best way forward is to setup a CVS Server where guyz initiate and support projects through CVS Clients.CVS projects thereafter graduate in uniform to beta and finally stable Versions.
I stand to be corrected.

Though judging by the response (or lack of it) things dont look good.
