This has already been talked about, and an official announcement made.
From the message posted by Chris Cason titled "POV-Team Status Report -
September 1, 2000", in povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions:
"...we are also hoping to use a much more open development model for
POV 4, with public read access to our source-revision tree. System
analysis, design, and implementation of POV 4 will be a very large
task, and this is one way we hope to speed it up. This open
development model would also hopefully provide development releases
(snapshots) more quickly to the power-user community, similar to what
MegaPov offers now."
