And if I understand it well, then I think you're right.
I think that's a reasonable policy. That puts the responsibility to
ensure that any new code I write works with whatever has been approved
already on me, and not you.
While this may require a bit extra responsibility on the committer,
I'd be surprised if it would be enough to deter any new would-be
committers from taking a shot at contributing code (maybe it would? I
guess it's debatable).

Sweet.
To be honest, the only video I ever saw of git was Linus' SVN-bash
google talk, which somehow put me off from considering git longer than
I should have, so this is a good link to have :-)
Thanks,
