This is perhaps obvious, but increasing the number of people who can
approve patches can add to reliability just as easily as it can hurt
reliability: they might be approving patches that fix bugs.
It's not entirely clear to me that stability (which I'm reading as
meaning lack of changes in the code itself) and control are inherently
good things, for that matter. You can have too little or too much of
either, and I would imagine that projects can be successful across a
broad spectrum of stability and control.
