I suspect you want b) with maybe 6 people for redundancy.
The pull request workflow should be well suited to a project like this
and impose minimal overhead.

The ability to comment on patches in-line before merging them should
be pretty handy.


You're also welcome to put a copy at http://www.clusterlabs.org/git/
Its pretty easy to keep the two repos in sync, for example I have this
in .git/config for matahari:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git at github.com:matahari/matahari.git
	pushurl = git at github.com:matahari/matahari.git
	pushurl = ssh://beekhof@git.fedorahosted.org/git/matahari.git

"git push" then sends to both locations
