All-or-nothing - with merge gating, *only* Zuul commits to the main
branches/clone (so we'd also be in for some interesting discussions with
the release managers and installer buiders - we may need to provide them
with the ability to override the normal gating process).

The underlying philosophy of the approach is reflected in the fact that
OpenStack doesn't have core committers or even core developers - they have
core reviewers instead.

Cheers,
Nick.
