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."
