Just throwing this out there: people could use one of the existing free 
Git hosts like Github, SourceForge, or Google Projects if they wanted to 
share their personal stuff with others, or just having a local 
repository on their computer, thumb drive, network share, etc.

IIRC, I did this with Mousepad changes, I pulled from XFCE Git before I 
had commit access, worked on my local copy, then when showing someone, I 
made a new Github repo and pushed it there, and then once I got commit 
access and was ready to put changes in XFCE Git, I just added a 
different remote (for SSH) and pushed the changes back.

I think this is pretty much how Git is designed to be used (I'm no Git 
expert though, I could be wrong), and it doesn't require any special 
infrastructure unless you plan to setup a repository hosting site like 
Github or something.
