I'm not much of a version control wonk. How would these help? Can't the folks who need such stuff do some sort of anonymous svn checkout?

The external developers can commit changes, revert them, etc. to their local repository, and still keep pulling changes from the python.org master as we commit them.

With an anonymous SVN checkout, you can never commit changes back, so you can't commit your work in stages or roll back changes as those of us w/ commit privileges can. (svk adds distributed features on top of SVN; that would be another option.)
